“…1 While the agenda prominently promoted by the ADB through its funding of programmes and projects across the Asia-Pacific as a whole can be considered part of an emerging "regulatory regionalism", the regionalisation of economic governance through internal transformation of the state (Jayasuriya 2009;Hameiri and Jayasuriya 2011), its role in Myanmar has been strictly limited. Nonetheless, through its Greater Mekong Subregion (GMS) 2 programme, the ADB has provided some indirect technical assistance for projects based in Myanmar but, due to broader Western isolation policies, this has been allocated to NGOs, consultants and intermediaries rather than government agencies.…”

“…In short, our analytical efforts should be focused on explaining how global and regional changes in the political economy lead to contestations within the established state institutions as well as layering new practices of governance within the established institutions (Jayasuriya 2008(Jayasuriya , 2009). State institutions are not external to the market, but are partially shaped by economic and market processes (Glassman 2011, Gough 2004).…”

The fundamental research question we seek to answer is this: why has this resource boom, say in contrast with the Korean War and post Second World War booms, not produced long-term political and policy reforms to accommodate the distribution and uneven impact which are the inevitable consequences of the rise in commodity prices? In answering this question, the argument we advance is that the political and policy responses to the current boom must be located in the context of shifts in power and interests in the domestic political economy and in the broader regionalisation of the political economy that have entrenched new transnational and regional forms of capital. An important dimension of this state transformation is the transformation of subnational state institutions and the emergence of what we call the local regulatory state À and its reflection in the territorial politics between resource-rich Australian states and the Federal government. The recent boom in Australia has seen some subnational states engage in activities that have been, until recently, the preserve of the Federal government, namely a complex of diplomacy and international trade. These recent moves have gone well beyond the past symbolic state/federal tensions based on party politics and the creation of sister cities. The Australian case À a resource boom in a developed country with welldeveloped and capable institutions À provides us with an analytical framework to move beyond the resource curse arguments.

“…Instead it requires the rescaling of ostensibly domestic agencies such that they are inserted within regional governance regimes and deploy international disciplines on other parts of their respective states and societies (see Jayasuriya 2009;Hameiri andJayasuriya 2011, 2012). FATF and the APG are thus not supranational institutions overriding national sovereignty, as international and regional organisations are typically understood, but rather the hubs of a regulatory network, coordinating domestic agencies to manage a transnational problem.…”

Regulatory regionalism and anti-money-laundering governance in Asia

With the intensification of the Financial Action Task Force's (FATF) worldwide campaign to promote anti-money laundering regulation since the late 1990s, all Asian states except North Korea have signed up to its rules and have established a regional institution -the Asia/Pacific Group on Money Laundering -to promote and oversee the implementation of FATF's 40Recommendations in the region. This paper analyses the FATF regime, making two key claims: first, anti-money laundering governance in Asia reflects a broader shift to regulatory regionalism, particularly in economic matters, in that its implementation and functioning depend upon the rescaling of ostensibly domestic agencies to function within a regional governance regime. Second, although this form of regulatory regionalism is established in order to bypass the perceived constraints of national sovereignty and political will, it nevertheless inevitably becomes entangled within the socio-political conflicts that shape the exercise of state power more broadly. Consequently, understanding the outcomes of regulatory regionalism involves identifying how these conflicts shape how far and in what manner global regulations are adopted and implemented within specific territories. This argument is demonstrated by a case study of Myanmar.
