On the one hand, major states in the region have achieved steady economic growth, which hasledtoincreasingeconomicandsociallinkagesamongtheirsocietiesand peoples.Thisgrowthhasalsoraisedtheregion’spoliticalstatus,whichistyp- icallygivenprominenceintheGroupofTwenty(G-20).Ontheotherhand, despitegrowingeconomicandsociallinkages,nationalisticsentimentsstill remainstronginmostofthecountries.Moreover,politicalanimositiesand security tensions constitute critical issues in international relations of East Asia.WhilethetensionsintheKoreanPeninsularemainunresolved,those relating to maritime security are escalating in the East China and South ChinaSeas. A key factor in promoting regional cooperation is the development of formalinstitutions.Foralongtime,initiativesforadvancingexplicitcoop- erationthroughformalinstitutionsremainedatapreliminarystageinEast Asia. Not only is East Asia’s history of regionalist initiatives and projects a shortone,butthemajorcountries’propensitytomaintainsovereignrights andterritorialintegrityhasalsohinderedtheinitiationanddevelopmentof regional institutions. As a background factor, diversity in terms of political regimes, economic development, and cultural traditions including religion has hindered the formation of a common regional identity. Since the late 1990s, however, countries in East Asia have gradually strengthened their aspirationstoadvanceformalinstitutionsdesignedtotacklecommonchal- lenges that the region is facing and to provide regional public goods for collectiveinterests. Thedevelopmentofregionalinstitutionsin EastAsia isprimarilydepen- dentontheextenttowhichstateactorscancoordinatetheirdiverseinterests towards long-term collective objectives. At the same time, practical pro- cessesofinstitution-buildingareinfluencedbyvariousfactors.Whileoverall historical trends on the global scene influence the speed and direction of regional institution-building, the presence and involvement of non-state actors provide particular input for deepening regionalist initiatives and projects. This monograph aims to make some contributions to the study ofregionalisminEastAsiabylinkingpracticalmovestowardsregionalcon- solidation to key perspectives and concepts in the theories of politics and internationalrelations.
