Regional cooperation and integration have emerged as key issues for
East Asia following the financial crisis. This book explores these
issues, and examines the degree to which a new paradigm is
emerging. It reviews the evolution of the concepts and practices of
regionalism in East Asia, and considers the factors which are
shaping new patterns of regional co-operation and integration. It
includes discussions of historical developments, economic
co-operation, socio-political factors, and defence and security. It
considers the role of those states, including China and Japan,
which have distinctive approaches to international relations, and
assesses the role of regional international bodies such as ASEAN.

Asia is at a geopolitical crossroads. After China launched its
ambitious Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) in 2013, Japan and the
United States responded with the November 2017 promulgation of the
Free and Open Indo-Pacific (FOIP) Strategy. Perhaps not
surprisingly, these two initiatives share some common features, and
two of these - their ambiguity and their competitiveness - seem to
be crucial in the foreign policy evaluation process. Competition
leads to ambiguity, which makes reactions, and responses in foreign
policy more and more difficult. Middle-Power Responses to China's
BRI and America's Indo-Pacific Strategy addresses that gap.
Starting from the insight that neither the BRI nor the FOIP exists
in isolation, and drawing on the knowledge that when either China
or the United States sneezes, it is often the less powerful
geopolitical players that catch the worst colds, the chapters
gathered herein examine how the US-China geopolitical competition
affects nations as diverse as Taiwan, Hungary, Kazakhstan,
Kyrgyzstan, and the member states of ASEAN. These insights are
provided by an international, multidisciplinary group of leading
experts that include military flag officers, academic researchers,
current and former government officials, and retired diplomats, all
of whom contribute to a well-rounded, multifaceted view of the
transformation that is currently taking place in the geopolitics of
the Asia-Pacific.
Many possibilities for bilateral coordination between Taiwan and
Japan exist in the face of China's rapid military development,
growing international influence, and increasingly belligerent
regional behavior. This volume examines several facets of such
potential coordination between Japan and Taiwan, in such areas as
Security Policy, Artificial Intelligence, Cybersecurity,
Nuclearization, Missile Defense, and others.
