The first question is knowing the legal form of ACFTA. By knowing the legal form of ACFTA, the second question is appeared. The second question focusses on the influence of ASEAN’s interest and China’s interest toward the legal form of ACFTA. Legalization theory and rational choice theory are used to analyze the legal form and the influence of ASEAN’s interest and China’s interest in ACFTA. This research finds that the legal form of ACFTA is moderate law. Then, the reason why ASEAN and China make ACFTA in moderate law is because the consideration related with the condition of the new member countries in ASEAN CLMV (Cambodia, Lao, Myanmar, and Vietnam). The consideration is related with the fact that those four countries’ economic condition have not ready yet if trade liberalization is conducted based on the agreement in ACFTA which is in 2010. Because of that reason, those four countries are given the opportunity to prepare their economic condition until 2015. This condition has an implication toward the form of ACFTA. When those countries are ready, both ASEAN and China cn maximize their interest in the framework of ACFTA.
