Advancing the Regional Commons in the New East Asia

Using the lens of the "commons" this book highlights the key development interests and challenges that members of ASEAN collectively recognize. The concept of "regional commons" involves three dimensions: the management of common resources; cooperation in the production of common goods; and cooperation in overcoming common challenges. Contributors to the collection discuss the ways in which the Plus Three arrangements that ASEAN has with China, Japan and South Korea address or complicate these three dimensions.
