Abstract
The focus for this chapter is the East Asian experience of regionalism. It examines the shape of regionalism in East Asia, and attempts to explain the origins and development of this phenomenon. For the purposes of this chapter East Asia comprises Northeast Asia (China, together with Taiwan and Hong Kong, Japan, and the two Koreas) and Southeast Asia (the ten members of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) and East Timor). Other countries are involved in East Asian affairs, including Russia (particularly through the Russian Far East), the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and India. The US and a number of these countries have promoted the Asia-Pacific concept as a means of legitimizing their involvement in East Asia.
