context of regionalism per se. The argument of this book brings
together the varying approaches of this field and covers critical
issues that generate regional development in Southeast and Northeast
Asia. This book tries to pinpoint the emergence of new paradigms

and newly shape the utility of regionalism, with greater emphasis
on the approaches of inter-regionalism, exclusiveness and networking.| |
