Sequencing Asian Regionalism

Sequencing Asian Regionalism: Theory and Lessons from Europe

Massive intra-Asian economic integration has been accompanied by very little institution building. This paper considers whether Asia needs new institutions by drawing lessons from the EU`s supranational integration sequence and EFTA`s intergovernmental sequence. Sequencing theory is presented and used to structure historical narrative of Europe`s and Asia`s sequencing and then used to draw implications of the analysis for future efforts to bring regional institutions to Asia.
