The aim of this book is to explore the past, present and future role of regional integration initiatives in Asia. Influenced by phenomena like the end of bipolarity, domestic dynamics, the Asian crisis, economic block¬building, the rise of China and India and the slow pace of international trade negotiations, regionalism flourished in Asia and its major sub¬regions (East Asia, South Asia, Central Asia, Middle East) especially since the beginning of the 1990s. Many countries in Asia form part of a steadily growing network of regional integration agreements (RIAs). These treaties are mostly signed bilaterally between countries neighbouring each other or that belong to the same sub¬region. In Asia this pattern applies in particular to the sub¬regions of both the Middle East and East Asia. Lately, however, also agreements were concluded or are in the making between countries from across the region connecting countries like Jordan and Singapore, China and Pakistan or the Arab Gulf Countries with Malaysia, India or Pakistan. In addition, there are a host of multilateral RIAs such as the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), ASEAN + 3, Asia Pacific Economic Organization (APEC), the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) or the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) and last but not least the Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC).
The differences between RIAs and their effects on regional integration processes are the core aspects to be investigated in this book.
Against this background, each chapter or case study deals with one or more of the following dimensions or issues of regional integration covering both theoretical and empirical aspects of the overall question: - Introducing new methodological and/or innovative theoretical conceptualizations regarding the causes and effects of libateral/multilateral RIAs - Debating and comparing preconditions for successful integration among RIAs in Asia/its major sub¬regions - Assessing and comparing concepts underlying the design of existing and potential future RIAs in Asia - Measuring outcomes of formal initiatives of integration and market¬driven patterns of regionalization in different policy fields (trade, investment, political and security cooperation etc.) - Assessing the role of regional powers / potential Hubs (China, Japan, India) as well as extra¬regional actors (USA, EU) in promoting or hindering regional economic and/or political cooperation/integration - Case studies of bilateral and multilateral RIAs in Asia and their interplay with global economic institutions / governance.
Most of the literature and conferences or workshops organized on topics of regionalism / regionalization in Asia have concentrated to date on one specific area or sub-region, i.e. the Middle East or South-East Asia or they have focused on a specific academic discipline. This book, however, brings together scholars and practitioners in international development cooperation from different disciplinary backgrounds. In addition, it promises to take up an 'inter-Asian' perspective offering the opportunity to explore and compare the fairly diverse experiences of regionalization gained thus far in the different parts of Asia.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
本書的目的是探討區域整合倡議在亞洲的過去、現在和未來的角色。受到雙極結束、國內動態、亞洲危機、經濟區塊建設、中國和印度的崛起以及國際貿易談判進展緩慢等現象的影響，自1990年代初以來，區域主義在亞洲及其主要子區域（東亞、南亞、中亞、中東）蓬勃發展。許多亞洲國家成為不斷增長的區域整合協議（RIAs）網絡的一部分。這些條約大多是由相鄰國家或屬於同一子區域的國家雙邊簽署。在亞洲，這一模式特別適用於中東和東亞的子區域。然而，最近也有協議在不同國家之間達成或正在制定中，連結了約旦和新加坡、中國和巴基斯坦，或阿拉伯海灣國家與馬來西亞、印度或巴基斯坦。此外，還有許多多邊RIAs，例如東南亞國家聯盟（ASEAN）、ASEAN + 3、亞太經濟合作組織（APEC）、上海合作組織（SCO）以及海灣合作委員會（GCC），最後但同樣重要的是伊斯蘭會議組織（OIC）。
RIAs之間的差異及其對區域整合過程的影響是本書要探討的核心主題。
在這一背景下，每一章或案例研究都涉及以下一個或多個區域整合的維度或問題，涵蓋整體問題的理論和實證方面：- 介紹有關雙邊/多邊RIAs的原因和效果的新方法論和/或創新理論概念 - 討論和比較亞洲及其主要子區域成功整合的前提條件 - 評估和比較亞洲現有和潛在未來RIAs設計的概念 - 測量不同政策領域（貿易、投資、政治和安全合作等）中正式整合倡議和市場驅動的區域化模式的結果 - 評估區域大國/潛在樞紐（中國、日本、印度）以及外部區域行為者（美國、歐盟）在促進或阻礙區域經濟和/或政治合作/整合中的角色 - 亞洲雙邊和多邊RIAs的案例研究及其與全球經濟機構/治理的相互作用。
迄今為止，大多數有關亞洲區域主義/區域化的文獻和會議或研討會都集中在一個特定的區域或子區域，即中東或東南亞，或專注於特定的學術學科。然而，本書將來自不同學科背景的國際發展合作學者和實務工作者聚集在一起。此外，它承諾採取“亞間”視角，提供探索和比較迄今為止在亞洲不同地區獲得的相當多樣的區域化經驗的機會。
