Traditionally in International Relations, power and authority were considered to rest with states. But recently, in the light of changes associated with globalisation, this has come under scrutiny both empirically and theoretically. This book analyses the continuing but changing role of states in the international arena, and their relationships with a wide range of non-state actors, which possess increasingly salient capabilities to structure global politics and economics.

An examination of the relationship between globalization and regionalism through a detailed analysis of the ASEAN Free Trade Area (AFTA) project. The book analyses how the interaction between globalization and domestic politics shaped the evolution of AFTA, arguing that although AFTA was triggered primarily by the pressures of globalization, it was a tussle between the imperatives of growth and domestic distribution that shaped the way economic cooperation unfolded and the forms it took.

During the last two decades, bilateral and multilateral donors' policy advice to developing countries has been centred on greater market openness and better integration into the global economy - a process that characterises globalization. This advice is of growing concern to many analysts as it subscribes to the problematic notion that as long as inequality is not increasing, economic progress through growth will reduce poverty. This book provides a systematic analysis of the impact of globalization on poverty, paying particular attention to empirical evidence to try to establish...

Globalisation is a phenomenon that has captured the imagination of both social scientists and the wider public. A recurring theme of 'globalisation' has been the seeming inability of governments to control financial forces. This book goes right to the heart of this issue by looking at the collaboration between finance ministries and central banks from the major industrialised powers in the field of monetary and financial governance. It examines the so-called G7 process, its role and influence in modern economic life. It asks what the G7 process does, what influence it has and what...

What is the impact of regional integration for different countries and how can it be measured? Using an interdisciplinary approach, this book explores how regional integration can be quantified, evaluated and monitored.
In today's globalizing world there is growing tension between the quest for global free trade and the fact that trade liberalization is frequently organized regionally rather than multilaterally. This book investigates the methodological problems involved in designing monitoring tools for regional integration, and makes suggestions for designing and...

Regional organizations in Europe and East Asia are currently grappling with a striking number of essentially similar challenges. The long-term future, role and impact of organizations such as the EU and ASEAN may depend heavily on how well or badly they deal with complex and conflict-laden issues in the next few years. This volume analyzes the historical development, current state and prospective future evolution of political integration in these two regions. The authors identify key variables that account for the contrasting political integration levels, demonstrating and explaining why...

What is the relationship between globalization and economic security? Globalisation and Economic Security in East Asia is an incisive new engagement with this important question that uses detailed conceptual exploration and fresh empirical analysis.
Viewing traditional neorealist conceptions of economic security as overly narrow, this new study suggests that any conception of economic security in the contemporary era needs to also pay close attention to the nature of global capitalism, and the insecurities it generates for societies and individuals.

This new collection of essays compares the development of central institutions of governance in the emerging democracies of East and South East Asia.
Seven key countries are covered: Taiwan, Korea, Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia and the Philippines. Save for Singapore and Malaysia, all have democratized over the past decade. Because of its constitutive implications for citizen identities, democratization is arguably of even greater potential significance than the economic take-off that preceded it.
But there are distinctive features that give the...
