The Past, Present, and Future of Asia’s Institutional Architecture

  • Chapter
Asia’s New Institutional Architecture

Part of the book series: The Political Economy of the Asia Pacific ((PEAP))

Abstract

Asia’s institutional order is in flux. The erosion of Asian countries’ traditional confidence in bilateral alliances and multilateral globalism is increasingly visible, manifesting itself in the burgeoning interest in intra- and extra-regional free trade agreements (FTAs), regional financial institutions, and cooperative security dialogues. The sudden shift in Asia’s institutional equilibrium has led to an extensive and thriving literature on the theory and practice of Asian regionalism.

We would like to thank Jonathan Chow for his useful comments on this concluding chapter.
