Abstract
This book investigates the unfolding process of regionalism and regionalisation in East Asia, focussing on the leading role being played by Japan. It attempts to integrate theoretical argument, historical interpretation and empirical mapping in order to both address gaps in the literatures of political science, international relations and Japanese studies and to foster dialogue between them. A central contention of the study, and the starting point of the book, is that accounts of regionalism emerging from the mainstream of theorising in international relations (IR) and international political economy (IPE) have been unable to understand and explain adequately the resurgence of regionalism in world politics that has taken place in the last two decades.1 This deficiency results from a prior inability to fathom the sources of power in modern society.
