East Asian Regionalism (Second Edition), Christopher M. Dent, 2016
“ Regionalism is one of the key defining features of the contemporary
international system. Indeed, it has been argued that we now live in a
'world of regions', and an international system increasingly defined by
interactions between regions and regional powers. Thus, the study of
regionalism is now a crucial element of studying the international
system generally.”
Goh, E. (2013). Developing
the Mekong: Regionalism and Regional Security in Researches
China- Southeast Asian Relations.

Findings:

In Southeast Asia, China’s growing economic and political


strength has been accompanied by adept diplomacy and
active promotion of regional cooperation, institutions and
integration. Southeast Asian states and China engage in
‘strategic regionalism’: they seek regional membership for
regime legitimation and collective bargaining; and regional
integration to enhance economic development, regarded
as essential for ensuring national and regime security.

Findings:
