Asian Voices: Promoting Dialogue between the U. S. and Asia

Emerging New East Asian Regionalism

7 December 2004

 
About This Seminar :
 
Main Speaker:


East Asia as a region has gradually developed common or shared interests in the areas of economics, politics, security and culture, which constitute the foundation of East Asian regionalism. Professor Zhang will discuss how the region’s diversity, historical grievances, and current contradictions have weakened consensus building toward regionalism. He will explore why East Asian regionalism has not been able to create a real East Asian community with a clearly defined approach and goals. Professor Zhang will also discuss the role of East Asian integration and its influence in the region.
