The study of regionalism is essential as it has become a vital trend with profound regional and global impacts. As closer economic ties between countries in the area have expanded significantly in the last decade, economic regionalization in East Asia has proceeded in a much more dynamic fashion than regionalist projects.
Focusing on the significance of regionalism, the book explores its profound effects on both regional and global scales, particularly in East Asia, where Japan, Korea, and China play pivotal roles. It discusses how regionalization fosters economic integration while emphasizing that exclusion can lead to marginalization. The work highlights the necessity of understanding and effectively navigating regional dynamics to ensure inclusive growth and cooperation.
