| Research Abstract |
The purpose of this joint-research project is to examine the impact of domestic political regimes on facilitating regional cooperation and coordination across economic and security issues. The Asia-Pacific after the Cold War is characterized by increased economic integration facilitated by of market economies and the persistence of military rivalry. Compared to the former Eastern European bloc, which transformed into market economies and democracies, and thereby becoming integrated into the regional economic and security arrangements EC and NATO, the Asia-Pacific is characterized by divided nations : notably, China-Taiwan and North-South Korea, in which one part is a democratic and other part is a non-democratic regime. We hypothesized that the existence of non-democratic divided nations has the effect of on democratic states to promote economic relations, if the country is a market economy, but remain divided and cautions over political and security relations. We found that democratic governments are favorable towards opening trade to market economies, such as the cases of Taiwan, Japan, and the United States toward China, but divided, if not antagonistic, over security and political relations. As such, regional cooperative arrangements for liberalizing trade and investment have progressed relatively insulated, although not totally so, from political rivalries among regional powers. By comparison, security ties have strengthened among democratic countries, in effect freezing the status quo as a result of rivalry among democratic and non-democratic regimes.
