Abstract
This paper explores why is there no regional, multilateral, collective security community like NATO in East Asia and how to construct regional security community from difficult conditions. East Asian regional community originated from two divergent paths of international system: the regional community of commerce called East Asian Mediterranean and Chinese tributary system of hub-and-spokes. These divergent systems reappeared in the post-World War II. The USA constructed a hub-and-spokes system that suffocated the regional multilateral security community while a community of commerce resurrected in the post-Cold War spilled over into security community. I explore the opportunities and constraints that East Asia has faced in constructing a regional security community. Then I will investigate what is needed for East Asia to construct regional security organization, shared values and identities, and the assurance of balanced multi-polarity by core states that are the core conditions in constructing regional security community.
