- Synopsis
- Calder (director, Reischauer Center for East Asian Studies, School of Advanced International Studies, Johns Hopkins U. ) and Ye (Boston U. ) examine and theorize processes and institutions of subregional integration in Northeast Asia (encompassing China, Korea, and Japan). They apply a critical-juncture analysis that views regionalist development as the product of changing geostrategic contexts, political leadership, and real and perceived crisis, arguing that institutional innovation is heavily reliant on leadership initiatives that can be spurred by political-economic crises. They thus focus on the Korean War as a critical juncture that gave birth to a "hub-and-spokes" relationship between the United States and its allies in Japan and South Korea, with China joining later as a de facto member, and the 1997 Asian financial crisis as another critical juncture that led to subregional institutional innovation and helped encourage the sense of a common Northeast Asian identity. They also offer country-specific analyses of regional policies in China, South Korea, and Japan and review the evolution of US political-economic approaches to Northeast Asia.
