This volume discusses the relationship between economics,
geopolitics and regional institutional growth and development in
the Asia-Pacific region. How do states (re)define their
relationships amid the current global power transition? How do
rival actors influence the rules and formation of new institutions
for their own benefit? What role will institutions take as
independent actors in influencing and constraining the behavior of
states? Institutional development in Asia is characterized by
idiosyncratic and diverse motivations (both material and
non-material), a variety of policy strategies (strategic and
norm-based), and the looming question of China's future depth of
involvement as its economic position becomes more stable and its
confidence in foreign affairs grows. The book reflects the
broadening definition of Asia by examining multiple perspectives,
including Japan, China, South Korea, the United States, Australia,
India, Russia, and Taiwan. In addition to state actors, the
contributors address several important regional institutions in
development such as the ASEAN (+3, +6, and the East Asian Summit),
the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB), the Asian
Development Bank (ADB), existing security alliances, and other
bilateral institutions. Ultimately, this volume describes the
unique, slow, and diverse growth of a multitude of regional
institutions, the complexities of generating cooperation,
membership concerns, and competition between states and with
existing institutions in the context of China's increasing
confidence and strength. This book will be of much interest to
students of Asian politics, regional security, international
organizations, and foreign policy.
