| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This research examines the prospects of regional order in East Asia by analyzing the dynamics of norm contestation and hybridization within Asian institutions, pertaining to international rules governing regional political and security relations. It reveals that the nature of emerging regional rules largely reflects the compromised outcome of bargaining between liberal and illiberal states over desirable norms dictating their practices. In other words, those rules are the products of hybridization of differing norms in the form of the lowest common denominator. Consequently, while the guiding principles of Asian institutions are mainly defined by "liberal norms", the content of the regional rules borne out from those institutions do not adequately reflects the standard definitions of those norms. In this regard, an emerging regional order can be seen as a "superficial" liberal order sustained by the rules having no clearly-recognizable effects on the behavior of many regional states.
