Reconfiguring East Asia

The book explores the profound impact of the recent economic crisis on East Asia, focusing on how it has reshaped perceptions and expectations for the region's future. It examines the role of regional organizations like ASEAN and APEC, alongside institutions such as legal systems and labor organizations, in mediating the crisis's effects. By analyzing the interconnectedness of these institutions with national and regional forces, it presents a nuanced view of East Asia's evolution and debates whether the region is converging with Western models or maintaining its unique trajectory.
