In this issue

Asia has experienced a generation without inter-state war, in part because of a security order centered around the ASEAN Regional Forum, which has involved ideas of comprehensive security enshrined in ASEAN processes and the new ideas of co-operative security developed in Europe in the late 1980s, write Paul Evans and Chen Dongxiao in the introduction to the cover package of this edition of Global Asia. That fusion, what might be called “Co-operative Security 1.0,” has been an integral part of the system that has long avoided war. But it is no longer adequate to address increasing nationalism and the tensions produced by the strategic transition taking place as the rise of China challenges US predominance. It’s time to develop “Co-operative Security 2.0.”
The essays were inspired by a series of workshops led by Evans and Chen on Co-operative Security 2.0, organized by the University of British Columbia and the Shanghai Institute for International Studies (SIIS) with partner institutions over the past two years. The meetings ranged over orders including hegemony, concert, security community, consociational, pluralist and multiplex.

Global Asia Magazine Description:

Publisher: East-Asia-Foundation

Category: Politics

Language: English

Frequency: Quarterly

Global Asia is a quarterly publication of the East Asia Foundation. The foundation, established in Seoul in January 2005, strives to promote peace, prosperity, security and sustainability in East Asia by creating an open and creative forum for the exchange of ideas on regional co-operation and integration, among other goals.

The mission we have set for ourselves with Global Asia is both bold and urgent: It is to provide a compelling, serious, and responsible forum for distinguished thinkers, policymakers, political leaders and business people to debate the most important issues in Asia today.

Global Asia is not a journal with a fixed point of view, or a particular agenda. Our aim is to give voice to the global dimension of what is happening in Asia. In our pages and on our web site, we aim for Asia to speak to the world, and the world to Asia. That is important at a time when this region is playing an ever greater role in world affairs.

There are other fine publications on international affairs. What sets us apart is our focus: Asia. We believe that the world is moving into “the Age of Asia,” to borrow a phrase from one of the articles in the inaugural issue of Global Asia in September 2006. This transformation is not going to occur overnight, but it has already begun.

The region’s dynamic economic growth, stable and accountable political systems, maturing democracies, and evolving sense of community are giving Asia greater weight in the world. These developments will have enormous implications for governments, businesses, societies and individuals across the globe. How that transformation is viewed, and shaped, from within Asia and how it is perceived outside Asia is an essential part of the story we have to tell.

The forces of globalization are having a profound impact throughout the world. And they are being influenced and channeled in different ways in different parts of the world. Ours is the story of Asia’s experience with globalization, and the ideas and debates influencing it. In pursuing our mission, we aim to play a part, however modest, in helping to shape the future of Asia.
