研究成果概要
Economic regionalism in East Asia changed dramatically after the Asian financial crisis (AFC) in 1997-1998. The regional governments have taken key initiatives to negotiate free trade agreements (FTAs) and pursue regional financial collaboration. Meanwhile, high-profile regional institutions have been established to promote cooperation at the intergovernmental level. The state-led economic regionalism and its institutional turn marked a key departure from the early period of autonomous and uninstitutionalized economic integration in East Asia.

This research project examines such an important transformation of East Asian regionalism, charting the regional process of post-AFC intergovernmental cooperation and the domestic process of developmental state restructuring. Intensive fieldwork was conducted both inside and outside Japan to collect first- and second-hand materials related to the post-AFC domestic and regional changes in Northeast and Southeast Asian countries.

Some initial research outcomes were circulated in academic workshops. A related paper, entitled 'FTAs and State-led Economic Regionalism in East Asia', will be presented at the 23rd World Congress of International Political Science Association in July 2014.
