Abstract:

The 1st International Symposium on Asia-Europe Development aims at discussing the following questions:

  • How has Asian regionalization fared since the 2000s, and especially since the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI)’s inception?
  • To what extent has the BRI reconfigured pre-existing networks as well as stimulated newer ones? How flexible (or rigid) has Asian regionalization become following China’s increasingly pivotal role in the global arena?
  • Does Asia’s experience bear any resemblance to that of the EU, often considered the ‘gold standard’ of regional integration?
  • What are the opportunities and constraints facing both the region as well as the respective national economies?

It addresses these questions by grounding them along three interlinked themes – trade/production regimes, financial flows, and sociocultural networks. These three themes help to sharpen our conceptualization on how region-building has taken place, in addition to its future directions.
