Critical to the strengthening of the international order are the interfaces between international economic and security orders, the role of state sovereignty, and the new economic and social actors invoked by globalization. The United States as a hyper-state of the world has been the largest factor and actor in this field in recent decades. But as this Council for Asia-Europe Cooperation (CAEC) volume points out, it is essential that there be debate among Asian and European states concerning the nature of international order so that they too can contribute to the strengthening of international order.The authors delve into the emergence of international order by taking stock of its principles; looking at the agenda for its enhancement by focusing on the traditional political and security agendas, economic problems, and new security issues; and defining policy implications that arise from their analyses.Contributors include Zakaria Haji Ahmad (Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia), Stuart Harris (Australian National University), Joachim Krause (Research Institute of the German Council on Foreign Relations), Kuik Cheng-Chwee (Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia), Jean-Pierre Lehmann (International Institute for Management and Development, Switzerland), Hanns W.

The Asia-Europe Foundation (ASEF) is an inter-governmental, not-for-profit organisation that promotes understanding and interactions between Asia and Europe. In 2022-2023, ASEF is celebrating its 25th Anniversary. The past 25 years have been an extraordinary opportunity to bring Asia and Europe closer. The next 25 years could be more challenging; in a fragmenting world, it could also mean a bigger role for ASEF given its bridging capabilities and its reputation as an honest broker. As the only permanent institution of the Asia-Europe Meeting (ASEM), the future of ASEF is inextricably linked to ASEM. How would Asia-Europe Cooperation look like 25 years from now? What are the driving forces? What do Asians and Europeans stand to gain or lose? What is at stake? What is your vision for ASEM’s destination? Voices from Asians and Europeans on The Future of Asia-Europe Cooperation: An Essay Competition Commemorating ASEF’s 25th Anniversary collects 68 essays from Asians and Europeans that elaborate on this topic, seeking to answer these questions and present the hopes for the future of Asia-Europe cooperation.

This publication from the Council for Asia-Europe Cooperation (CAEC), launched in May 1996 by major policy research institutions in Asia and Europe to promote policy-oriented intellectual exchange between the two regions, is the culmination of nearly two years of study by five teams of Asian and European experts. In one of the first attempts to analyze the necessity of Asia-Europe cooperation, and certainly the most comprehensive, nine authors examine in five reports the rationale for facilitating greater cooperation between the two regions and the common agenda that should be addressed. The authors discuss the geopolitical, political and economic security, economic and business, institutional, and societal dimensions of cooperation in the context of the Asia-Europe Meeting (ASEM). Their overview chapter suggests a structure for ASEM cooperative activities and lists some priorities for future work. The Japan Center for International Exchange is the Asian secretariat of CAEC. The International Institute for Strategic Studies in London acts as European secretariat.

Its members are the seven ASEAN countries and the 15 EU countries. This book addresses three questions of central importance to the ASEM process and to the involvement of the private sector: What role can Europe and Asia play in managing an integrated global economy? What will be the role of the private sector in boosting the ASEM process? And how can the full potential of ASEM be realised? The contributors to the volume are Asian and European academics, politicians and businessmen who have been involved in the process from the very beginning.

As countries across Asia continue to rise and become more assertive global powers, the role that Higher Education has played, and continues to play, in this process is an issue of growing pertinence. Furthermore, understanding the relationship between Europe and Asia fostered by historical and contemporary knowledge transfer, including Higher Education, is crucial to analysing and encouraging the progress of both regional integration and inter-regional cooperation. With a specific focus on international Higher Education, European Studies in Asia investigates knowledge transfer and channels of learning between Europe and Asia from historical, contemporary and teaching perspectives. The book examines a selection of significant historical precedents of intellectual dialogue between the two regions and, in turn, explores contemporary cross-regional discourses both inside and outside of the official frameworks of the European Union (EU) and the Asia--Europe Meetings (ASEM). Drawing on extensive case studies based on many of his own teaching experiences, Georg Wiessala addresses key questions, such as the nature and construction of the European Studies in Asia curriculum; aspects of ‘values’, co-constructed learning and adult pedagogy in the discipline of European Studies in Asia; the politics of Asian host cultures, the ‘internationalization’ of Asian Higher Education and the experiences and expectations of tertiary sector students of this subject in Asia, Australia and New Zealand. In doing so, the author articulates a range of outcomes for the further development of Higher Education cooperation agendas between Asia and Europe, in the discipline of European Studies, and in related fields such as International Relations. This case study-led book makes an original and novel contribution to our understanding of European Studies in Asia. As such, it will be of great interest to students and scholars of Asian Education, Comparative Education, European Studies and International Relations.

Since 1974, when the current wave of democratisation began, the movement towards democracy in Asia has remained limited. Many countries in Asia, in fact, are not making a decisive move towards democracy, and find themselves struggling with the challenges of democratic consolidation and governance. Focusing on Indonesia, Thailand and Korea, this book analyses why democratisation is so difficult in Asia. The book investigates the dynamics by which citizens embrace democratic rule and reject authoritarianism, and also compares these dynamics with those of consolidating democracies around the world. The book looks at the forces that affect the emergence and stability of democracy, such as elite interactions, economic development and popular attitudes as beliefs and perceptions about the legitimacy of political systems have long been recognised as some of the most critical influences on regime change. The book also discusses what it is about the nature of public opinion and the processes of day-to-day democratic participation that have made these countries vulnerable to repeated crises of legitimacy. Using Indonesia, Korea, and Thailand as case studies, this book highlights the uniqueness of the Asia’s path to democracy, and shows both the challenges and opportunities in getting there. The book will be of interest to students and scholars of Asian Politics, Comparative Politics and International Studies.
