In the decade since the Asian financial crisis the ten states of
Southeast Asia that form ASEAN, together with China, Japan and
South Korea have formed the basis of a community intended to
support the well-being of its member states, markets and peoples.
This highly successful regionalisation was not anticipated by the
region's leaders, however, and as a result, policy makers are
increasingly talking about 'meeting fatigue' and the need to find a
better way to govern regional affairs. Among the reforms being
considered is a shift towards a more rules-based culture as well as
the more explicit incorporation of both private sector and civil
society organisations into the policy processes. In short, ASEAN+3
is seeking to develop new norms and processes for its networks and
institutions. This book explores the pressures currently
influencing East Asian regionalist policy debates, analysing the
trend towards deeper integration and the emergence of a governance
model for managing regional processes. Combining state and
subnational perspectives in conjunction with an examination of the
role of the business community and civil society organisations,
this book highlights the policy challenges confronting regionalism
and governance in East Asia, including key issues such as the rule
of law, financial cooperation and a case study on disaster
management.
