- Contents
- Asia is the economic powerhouse of the world economy and its countries are deeply interconnected with each other and with states from other world regions such as Europe and the Americas. As such East Asian states share an interest with their counterparts from the West to manage interdependencies in various issue areas not only in their respective region but also on the global level of cooperation. In fact, we see a fair amount of engagement of Asian states (China, Indonesia, Singapore, Japan, Korea) and regional institutions with global governance regimes such as the WTO, the IMF, the UN and G20. These interactions may be divided into diplomatic lobbying and interplay between rules and norms of the regional (Asian) regimes and global regimes involved.
Against this empirical and a selected theoretical background (i.e. international regime theory, multilevel governance and theories of institutional interplay or interaction) this seminar seeks to elaborate on the following questions: How exactly do East Asian states contribute to global governance processes and dialogues in the issue areas of trade, finance and security? How does respective lobbying by Asian diplomats in global institutions take place? How do institutional mechanisms or international regimes interact with regional governance systems in East Asia? Do these interactions result in a division of labour or competition between regional and global institutions?
