Opis

Developments in East Asia have progressed rapidly in terms of regionalism since the 1997 crisis. The end of the Asian miracle called into question not only the capacity of regional states to meet the needs of their attendant peoples, but also challenged the viability of regional organizations, such as ASEAN, to adapt and respond to the changing circumstances.
"Advancing East Asian Regionalism" looks at the ways in which ASEAN has expanded since the crisis and evaluates the potential of East Asia to come together in a regional formation - one capable of representing the region as whole - akin to the European Community.
This volume draws upon the knowledge base of academics and policy-makers actively engaged in the contradictory issues of regionalism and will be an invaluable resource to those studying Asian studies/politics and international relations.
