It was founded in Biunhamaomao, Dezevau. It held a plenary conference annually. It founded and sponsored many institutions for many purposes, ranging from cultural to technological to financial, and otherwise coordinated and improved relations. At its peak it had xx members. Geographically, its membership was concentrated in Coius, especially Bahia, and it only admitted as sponsored members countries outside of Euclea and northern Asteria Superior, which were understood to be developed. However, developed sponsor states held significant influence. The AESE was associated with the Red Surge, a geopolitical phenomenon in Coius of newly decolonised states adopting socialist policy and ideology for a period, around the 1950s to the 1960s.
History
The annual conferences were plenary and typically held in November, right from the beginning; this was because it avoided monsoon season in both hemispheres. The host city and country changed from conference to conference.

Foundation
The AESE was founded in 1949, with its inaugural conference in Biunhamaomao, in Dezevau, which was a founding member along with Djedet, xxx and xxx. At the time, the socialists seemed to be winning in Zorasan and Mabifia, and to be on the rise in the rest of the postcolonial world; the centre of the socialist world seemed to be shifting away from Euclea. With Swetania, Chervolesia and Amathia as observers, speeches given at the first conference acknowledged the accelerating trend of decolonisation since the end of the Great War in 1935, and the extent to which those who came out from under the thumb of colonialism seemed amenable to socialism and found it applicable to their national situations. The organisation sought for the postcolonial world, or what would later become known as the global economic periphery, to take charge of its own affairs; it was friendly to the socialists of Euclean and northern Asteria Superior, but considered that different approaches were required in the developing, formerly colonised world. To this extent, it was much more tolerant of nationalism, traditionalism and hybridism than Intercon was, though the official alignment remained internationalist.
Expansion
Countries such as Wale joined shortly after foundation, which joined in 1951, and Ajahadya which joined in 1955. The organisation successfully promoted xxx and did xxx. One of its more ambitious initiatives was the Atomic Foundation for Emerging Socialism, which sought to develop and share nuclear technology in the context of the developing world, where aims, culture and capabilities were often different from under capitalism and in the developed one. Another notable project of the organisation, which was more successful, was the International Institute for Social Healthcare; it became affiliated with InterCon after entering limbo after the dissolution of AESE, and is still operating.
Garamburan War of Independence
In 1969, the Garamburan War of Independence was fought; Rwizikuru, a member of AESE, was the main combatant on one side, while the Garamburans were supported by Mabifia and Djedet, also members. Rwizikuru had already lost diplomatic standing in AESE for its transition to monarchy and increasing authoritarianism, and international opinion was on the side of the Garamburans, who won the war and established an independent Garambura. However, criticism was levelled at their side from the AESE perspective as they were not socialists, and were supported by foreign, capitalist powers, including Senria, Estmere and Gaullica, some of which which were even former colonisers of the region. While fellow AESE member Dezevau mediated the end to the war, at the conference later that year a motion was moved to expel Rwizikuru. It is unclear whether it would have passed, but Rwizikuru withdrew from the organisation before it could be voted on in protest. These events, while they resolved the immediate issue of Rwizikuru's discord with other members, seriously shook the stability of the organisation and made clear how local nationalism, pan-Bahianism and internationalism could conflict in the socialist and anti-imperialist context.
Collapse
In 1988, Zorasan moved to a system of government dominated by clerics and the military, largely shedding the remnants of its socialism. The ascension of a new monarch in Rwizikuru without much sympathy for socialism seemed to clarify that country's permanent split with AESE, and in Dezevau the structural political influence of the Cultural Revolutionaries was at such a point that they were making demands in regards of foreign policy. The membership of AESE, and the tide of socialism more generally across the world seemed to be receding; the remaining members dedicated to socialism largely saw the AESE as having failed in its mission to prosecute the case for socialism; one particularly prominent criticism was that it had failed to rein in, even enabled, regimes which had only been socialist in name. Th 1988 conference voted to dissolve the organisation, amidst acrimony and a breakdown in cooperation.
Legacy
Since the dissolution of AESE, there have been no major international socialist organisations outside of InterCon, which has remained firmly internationalist socialist. The International Forum for Developing States, formed in 1985, succeeded the AESE as the most significant international body for south-south cooperation. The historical peak of socialist influence in the developing world, and indeed in the world generally, is generally considered to remain the golden age of the AESE, in the years shortly before the Garamburan War of Independence crisis.

A number of countries, mostly socialists in the developed world, were observers to AESE, being present at conferences and generally having friendly relations but not participating directly.

Institutions
The Association of Emerging Socialist Economies founded and sponsored many institutions for the international socialist movement, both in the developing world and more broadly. Many of these institutions survived it, becoming independent or becoming affiliated with the Association for International Socialism.
