This research project compared regional order, or ‘commons’ formation in East Asia and Europe, from historical, theoretical and current-policy viewpoints, aiming at academic outputs as well as wider social proposals.
While the COVID-19 crisis slowed our research at the final stage, we have produced numerous books, articles and oral presentations. Notably, the team members published an edited book on state sovereignty, a book and articles on nationalism, and several articles about historical reconciliations, all of which could be the basis and obstacles for regional commons formation. In order to smoothly construct it, one would need to manage the complex politics involving security, functional cooperation, and civic reconciliations. This research project could be seen building up the theoretical and policy foundations for the comprehensive regional order formation.
