The Asia-Pacific is arguably the most important, but also the most
complex and contested, region on the planet. Containing three of
the world's largest economies and some of its most important
strategic relationships, the region's capacity of regional elites
to promote continuing economic development whilst simultaneously
maintaining peace and stability will be one of the defining
challenges of the twenty-first century international order.
Intuitively, we might expect regional institutions to play a major
role in achieving this. Yet one of the most widely noted
characteristics of the Asia-Pacific region has been its relatively
modest levels of institutional development thus far. However,
things are changing: as individual economies in the Asia-Pacific
become more deeply integrated, there is a growing interest in
developing and adding to the institutions that already exist.
Institutions of the Asia-Pacific examines how this region is
developing, and what role established organisations like APEC and
new bodies like ASEAN Plus Three are playing in this process. An
expert in the field, Mark Beeson introduces the contested nature of
the very region itself - should it be the 'Asia-Pacific' or 'East
Asia' to which we pay most attention and expect to see most
institutional development. By placing these developments in
historical context, he reveals why the very definition of the
region remains unsettled and why the political, economic and
strategic relations of this remarkably diverse region remain
fraught and difficult to manage.
