Article Abstract:

The prevailing theories of regional co-operation in the Asia-Pacific fail to pay due heed to the manner in which regional integration is rooted in domestic coalitions, economic strategies and state forms during the Asian miracle. An argument that the collapse of the developmentalist project has given way to a new regulatory state, which in turn gives rise to new forms of regulatory regionalism, is presented.
