<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12pt"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14pt">It may seem bizarre to talk of ‘expanding networks of
cooperation in East Asia’ at a time when Japanese Prime Minister Abe is telling
the Davos World Forum that relations between China and Japan are analogous to
those between Britain and Germany in 1914—the outbreak of World War I. Certainly,
in recent years, unresolved and increasingly tense maritime; expanding defense
budgets; contrasting ‘historical memories;’ and the American ‘repositioning’ in
East Asia are but a few of the headline grabbers suggesting that East Asia is
‘ripe for rivalry.’ <br>
<br>
Yet, financial, trade and regional production linkages across East Asia have
never been deeper, nor expanding more quickly. Equally, formal regional
organizations such as the East Asia Summit and the ASEAN plus Three, are
exploding in number and influence.<br>
<br>
This talk will examine this apparent disjuncture. Much of the explanation,
Pempel will argue, lies in how countries answer the question ‘who is my enemy?’
In Northeast Asia particularly, on issues of hard security and military
matters, the leaders of China, Japan and both Koreas uniformly point fingers
are one another. That is far less true in Southeast Asia. And on matters of
finance and economics, most East Asian leaders are less skeptical of one
another and more likely to identify external finance and bodies such as the
International Monetary Fund as their largest threat, leading them to greater
cooperation with one another.</span></p>
