| Research Abstract |
The following are the main results of our collective research project on the Economic-Security nexus in East Asia and Western Europe.
(1) The Theoretical Dimension: We have constructed a theoretical model: the Integration-Security Governance Model. In so doing we modified the Hegemonic Stability Model of Kinderberger and Neo-Functionalism of Ernst Hass, by combining these two with the variable of Globalization.
(2) The Economic Dimension: The industrial input-output analysis has been applied to the massive amount of statistical data as regards East and Southeast Asia. We also examined - sector by sector, and in comparison with the relevant data on Western Europe - the functions of multinational firms in relation to regional economic integration, and went on to test the existing theories on East/Southeast Asian economic integration.
(3) The Political Dimension: On the one hand, we have acknowledged the enormity/difficulty of the polity of China, which constitutes the major difference in conceiving any integrative project in the two regions: East Asia and Western Europe. On the other hand, however, we have concluded that China can well be situated in East Asian regional integration, by affirmatively analyzing the positive implications-economic and political - of China's WTO membership and the transformation of its security conceptions.
