“…There is scholarly agreement that the processes of regionalism in Europe and Asia have occurred for different reasons, in different ways and historical contexts and with different outcomes (Murray 2010). First, regional cooperation in Europe has been driven by policy (Capannelli 2009;Okagaki 2009) as a result of its specific history and geography (Nair 2008). In contrast, Asian regional cooperation has been driven by markets (Hidetaka 2007;Capannelli 2009;Okagaki 2009) and Hidetaka (2007: 243) argues that 'European experiences indicate that the existence of business associations with the ability to set up a far-reaching agenda, and to exert pressure on the national governments for its realisation, is one of the key factors to successful integration', unlike Asia at present.…”

This article examines the development of Asian regionalism and the scholarship on regionalism in Asia in relation to EU studies. It provides a brief overview of the development and relative successes to date of East Asian regionalism. It then examines scholarship on the East Asian region -the principal approaches, concepts and methods before moving on to ask what, if anything, scholars of EU studies can learn from scholarship on the East Asian region and what, if anything, scholars of the East Asian region might learn from scholarship on the EU. It seeks to establish some pathways to deeper dialogue between scholarly understandings of the EU experience of integration and the East Asian experience of regionalism, aiming to contribute to comparative regional integration analysis. It argues that the key characteristic of European integration theory is an 'institutions plus embedded norms' framework and that the distinguishing feature of East Asian regionalism is a framework of architecture based on open economic regionalism, normative priors and security imperatives.

“…ASEAN's continuing relevance to the region is now disputed. As an example, APT has been mainly concerned with economic cooperation, but the underlying geopolitical tensions and security concerns have undercut closer financial and economic integration (Nair, 2008). ASEAN's internal problems also have profound effects on its projection to the wider Asia Pacific.…”

“…On the one hand, ASEAN has been the only effective regional grouping in the Asia Pacific area that has been able to bring together disparate states into dialogue through its appendages, such as the ARF and the APT. On the other hand, its reluctance to reconsider its noninterventionist norms is on a head‐on collision course with the outcome‐oriented mentality of the West (Nair, 2008).…”

The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) is an enduring regional organization in the Asia Pacific. However, its claim of being central to any talks on regional architecture is challenged by a multiplicity of external and internal factors. This article assesses ASEAN's centrality by looking into the possible challenges facing it, which inevitably affect its claim to be the central organization in managing the direction of the wider region. It then offers possible ways forward so that ASEAN can retain its leadership and prove to be a credible driver for regional cooperation.

“…Another very common depiction of diplomacy is as a network of professional bureaucrats with very little interest or concerns about the problems faced by the common people. Nevertheless, diplomacy continues to be one of the most important and influential fields in the social sciences (Kissinger, 1994;Miller, 2009;Mulgan, 2008;Nair, 2008;Peneau, 2013;Rodham-Clinton, 2010;Simon, 2008;Sponsel, 1994;Tow, Thakur, & Hyun, 2000). Part of the reason for the pivotal role played by diplomacy is the primacy that nation-states have played in international relations since the Congress of Vienna (Chandler, 2009;Chizuko, 2010;Dore, 1997;HSIN-HUANG, HSIAO, & WAN, 2007;Ishii, 1994;MacFarlane & Khong, 2006;McCargo, 2008;Sponsel, 1994).…”

IntroductionThe field of traditional diplomacy has changed very little since the Congress of Vienna in the 19 th century. Globalization, non-traditional security threats, and a changing global landscape require a more flexible diplomacy that includes a wider range of stakeholders such as NGOs, community leaders, and most importantly scholars/academics. Objective The academic freedom enjoyed by scholars allows them to explore policy questions from a scientific perspective Materials and methods the present study follows the grounded theory approach to model development while adopting a largely constructivist paradigm in terms of the nature of diplomacy Result the academic freedom enjoyed by scholars allows them to explore policy questions from a scientific perspective. Thus, scholars have the freedom to explore controversial topics in an environment of respect and professionalism. Discussion Scholars have historically served as the conscience of their generation and also as the keepers and creators of civilization and therefore it is only natural for them to play important roles in public policy Conclusions The integration of the scholarly community into the diplomatic corps of developing countries can reduce the intrinsic asymmetry between the expertise and skills of the ministries of foreign Introducción El campo de la diplomacia tradicional ha cambiado muy poco desde el Congreso de Viena en el siglo XIX. La globalización, las amenazas a la seguridad no tradicionales y un panorama global cambiante requieren una diplomacia más flexible que incluya una gama más amplia de partes interesadas, como ONG, líderes comunitarios y, lo más importante, académicos. Objetivo La libertad académica que disfrutan los académicos les permite explorar cuestiones de política desde una perspectiva científica. Materiales y métodos El presente estudio sigue el enfoque de la teoría fundamentada para el desarrollo de modelos al tiempo que adopta un paradigma en gran parte constructivista en términos de la naturaleza de la diplomacia. Resultados los académicos les permiten explorar cuestiones de política desde una perspectiva científica.
