Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

The book is the first attempt to offer a holistic and integrated exploration of the political-economic framework underpinning economic regionalism. In doing so, it provides a much-needed contribution to the literature on international political economy, international relations, and Asian political economy in relation to economic regionalism.

The existing literature provides broad generalisations and limited discussion on economic integration (i.e. free trade agreements, FTA) with most analyses of regionalism generally contained to the field of economics, with a focus on the welfare implications of FTAs, both for participating countries and the world as a whole.

Readers of The Political Economy of New Regionalism in Northeast Asia can view economic regionalism from a variety of perspectives with input from Chinese, Japanese, and Korean research institutes, business and industry groups, and government officials. Drawing on the considerable country experience and expertise of the authors, the book attempts to unravel the paradox of the market-driven economic globalisation process (regionalism) and address a serious gap in the current literature relating to the political-economic characteristics and strategies of China, Japan, and Korea in relation to economic regionalism.
