Book synopsis

This book§presents a conceptualization of social emergence in international relations as§a novel angle to analyse institutional dynamics in East Asia, introducing the§concept of emergence from a critical realist perspective. The author examines§East Asia's characteristic mesh work of regional institutions that affect§integrative processes and regional policies, exploring how such institutions§emerge and acquire their own nature and why this pattern persists over time, an§unresolved and contested subject in the field of International Relations. This§book suggests that regional institutions are emergent entities of the§international system that arise as forms of self-organization by states to§achieve certain emergent properties and powers. The author's approach sheds§light on the particular emergent properties and powers of regional institutions§and identifies discourse as a key mechanism of social emergence. Besides§engaging in relevant questions of the philosophy of science and its§methodological implications for studying social emergence in world politics,§the book also analyses the concrete case of two East Asian regional§institutions: ASEAN Plus Three and the East Asia Summit. This book will engage§scholars and postgraduate students of Asian Studies and International§Relations.§§
