Abstract
In East Asia, institution-building has been delayed compared with Europe, America or South Asia. The lack of leadership has been regarded as one of major reasons for this delay. However, the evolution of regional institutions in East Asia has been sustained by substantial roles of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), an organisation that comprises small states in Southeast Asia. The major regional forums such as ASEAN Plus Three (ASEAN+3), the ASEAN Regional Forum (ARF) and the Asia-Europe Meeting (ASEM) were formed and developed under ASEAN’s initiatives. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
