Academic Scientific JournalsThe structure of East Asian regionalism: The geospatial dimension
Keywords:
regionalism, regionalisation, East AsiaAbstract
Regionalism, in addition to integration and globalization, is the dominant process in the contemporary world economy, affecting the shape of the interstate relations in the context of economic, social, political, and security sphere. Simultaneously, the growing importance of East Asian countries is conducive to intensifying the regional cooperation. This process was significantly affected by the Asian financial crisis of 1997–1998 and the 2008–2009 global crisis. The aim of the article is to present and analyse the structure of East Asian regionalism, taking into account all of its geospatial dimensions: microregionalism, subregionalism, macroregionalism, transregionalism, and the widest one: interregionalism. Research methods applied include the analysis of scientific publications and the comparative approach. The results of the analyses indicate that there are different determinants of the cooperation, with a particularly significant role of geopolitics.
