The International Relations of Japan and South East Asia Forging a New Regionalism

By Sueo Sudo Copyright 2002

    The International Relations of Japan and South East Asia asks three main questions: how and when has a new South East Asian regionalism been set in motion? what is the nature of Japanese leadership and networking in maintaining and promoting that new regionalism?; and, given the current economic and political crisis, what will happen to regionalism in the future?
