Building a Neighborly Community, available for the first time in
paperback, explores the political economy of post-cold war East
Asian co-operation by examining the history of intra-regional
co-operation, against the background of China's rise and Japan's
relative decline, both real and perceived. The book in particular
examines how East Asian states have dealt with the South China Sea
as a region-wide security challenge and the imperative for
self-help after the 1997 economic crisis. The book builds on the
explanatory strength of analytical eclecticism, and ultimately
concludes that China, South Korea, Japan, and ASEAN states have
aimed for constructing a neighborly community. The fundamental
differences between a neighborly community and the kind of
community that has emerged in Europe and North America are that
qualification for membership is not conditional, the process of
routine interactions is itself one of reassurance, the aim of
inter-state interactions is to foster acceptance of each other, and
changes in a member's foreign policy behaviour are accepted.
