Cluster Description
|
This research cluster focuses on questions to do with the developing political significance of regional governance and regional identity in world politics. It has a particular focus on the political dynamics and political possibilities of regional co-operation in the Asia-pacific area in relation to security and conflict prevention, development, trade and the environment.
|
Key Research Question
|
How should we understand the political significance and political dynamics of regional governance? How should we conceptualise and characterise regional governance? How might we usefully theorise regionalism based on Asia-Pacific experience? How can regional communities be built in ways that maximise political legitimacy? What are the implications of the 'new bilateralism' for Asia-Pacific regionalism? How should we evaluate the new possibilities for future regional arrangements in Asia-Pacific?
