  • This article not only theoretically explores the necessity and effect of constructive minilateralism and subregionalism in Northeast Asia, but also delves into a series of practical solutions from viewpoint of seeking common ground while reserving differences in this region. The main contents are as follows: First, the various obstacles that hinder the formation of regionalism, subregionalism and minilateralism in the Northeast Asia are discussed. That is to say, geopolitical realism, My Country First ideology, exclusive nationalism in the socio-historical context, and North Korea's latest provocations, etc. Second, this article explores the philosophy and basic principles of realizing Northeast Asia regionalism and minilateralism. Third, in the 21st century, Northeast Asia becomes the center of the world. It examines the core points, controversial focus and platform for building sub regionalism in the region. Finally, based on the institutional platform such as minilateralism and sub regionalism, the various ideas and practical plans of cross-border cooperation among major countries in Northeast Asia were discussed. Because there are a lot of obstacles, so first of all it is more appropriate to promote economic or functional minilateralism or sub regionalism than multilateral cooperation. In order to promote the formation of regionalism and minilateralism in Northeast Asia, the issues to be considered are as follows: First, for the sake of leading regional solidarity and minilateral economic cooperation, it is advisable for China, as a regional economic power, to implement a stable and responsible diplomacy. Secondly, regional solidarity based on credible politics and security should be promoted for a long time beyond the level of economic cooperation. Third, the primary prerequisite for the realization of Northeast Asian regionalism is that in the process of denuclearization of North Korea, the stability and peace mechanism of the Korean Peninsula should be established. Fourth, with the continued hegemonic competition between the United States and China in Northeast Asia, under the circumstance that countries in the region are pushed into so-called "East Asian Paradox", it is profoundly important for them to consider transition from the hostile relationship as the "Thucydides trap" to the order of "coexistence" in which competition and cooperation run side by side, and the two countries should explore a conversion plan for the foreign policy line. This mutual cooperation and peaceful coexistence of the US-China relationship will create a friendly atmosphere for the formation of regionalism in Northeast Asia. In the future, the cooperation of minilateralism in Northeast Asia will break the existing conflict between the maritime forces and the continental forces in order to promote peace. And along with the philosophy that "peace is economy", recent policies of common prosperity as the framework, such as China's "Belt and Road Initiative", North Korea's "Special Zone and Development Zone Policy", Russia's "New Eastern Policy", Japan's participation in the Belt and Road Initiative and South Korea's The "Korean Peninsula New Economy Map" are organically linked and it should promote the so-called "networked regionalism".

  • 2017년 동남아의 정치경제는 대미의존적 안보질서와 대중의존적 경제질서가 중첩하는 역설적 '이중질서'로 요약되는 동아시아의 지정학적 지경학적 조건에서 전개된다. 경제발전의 지속적 진전과 정치발전의 만성적 부진이 날카롭게 엇갈리는 동남아의 두 얼굴은 동남아와 동북아를 포괄하는 동아시아의 두 얼굴을 충실하게 반영한다. 정치적 차원에서, 전체주의의 향수를 떨쳐내기 어려운 베트남, 라오스, 캄보디아, 미얀마 등 구사회주의권은 전체주의와 권위주의 사이의 완충지대에 서식하고, 민주주의의 명분을 저버리기 어려운 필리핀, 태국, 인도네시아, 말레이시아, 싱가포르 등 원자본주의권은 권위주의와 민주주의 사이의 회색지대를 전전한다. 경제적 차원에서, 계획경제의 거대한 유산을 포기하기 어려운 구사회주의권은 신국가주의적 '베이징 콘센서스'로 분장되는 중국형 국가자본주의의 은밀한 유혹과 타협하고, 시장경제의 화려한 신화를 외면하기 어려운 원자본주의권은 신자유주의적 '워싱턴 콘센서스'로 포장되는 미국형 자유자본주의의 오만한 압력에 노출된다. 그에 따라 동남아의 지역통합을 대변하는 아세안 공동체는 대륙세력과 해양세력의 경쟁적 협공에 따라 '신냉전'의 부상이 예감되는 전략적 곤경에서 끊임없이 부침한다.
