Title ASEAN Plus Three and the Rise of Reactionary Regionalism
Abstract/Summary The course of regional integration in East Asia has been shaped by a complex mix of internal and external factors. Although the emergence of initiatives like 'ASEAN Plus Three' appears to indicate that East Asia is assuming a more independent and regionally-oriented place in the international system, this paper argues that the future trajectory of ASEAN Plus Three, and of the region more generally, will continue to be constrained by internal tensions and - especially - by the continuing influence of the United States. In short, for the foreseeable future East Asia will be marked by a form of 'reactionary regionalism' in which regional initiatives are designed to mediate and moderate external influences.
