ASEAN and ASEAN Plus Three

More about the book

The book explores the evolving dynamics of East Asia amidst significant structural changes, emphasizing the rise of a "new regionalism" following the end of the bipolar world order. It examines how ASEAN and the ASEAN Plus Three forum reflect distinct collective identities within Southeast Asia and East Asia. By analyzing the discursive, behavioral, and motivational patterns of these groups, the study assesses their potential for sustainable interaction and the formation of 'ingroups' among member states, highlighting the complexities of regional integration and identity.
