REGIONALISM & REGIONALIZATION

Commonly confused with regionalization, regionalism refers

to regional concentration of economic flows while
regionalization refers to political process by economic policy if
cooperation and coordination are present among country
(Mansfield & Wilmer, 2014).
INTEGRATION OF THE ASIAN
REGION
 INTEGRATION OF THE
ASIAN REGION
The tales concerning the Western ‘arrival’ in the Asian
region were one of the early
manifestations of the region’s integration.

Even countries that were not subjected to colonial

control were forced to deal with the effects.
There’s also the legacy of World War II, which served as a
catalyst for Asia-Pacific Unification in another way. The rise
of Japan and the onset of war in the Pacific theater signaled
the end of Japan's imperial dominance in the region. By
serving as a growth model, Japan's predicament aided the
increase in strength of other Asian countries. They were
able to adapt Japan's miraculous economic policies,
allowing other countries to participate in the growing
global economy.
Economic liberalization and globalization have arguably had
far-reaching regional consequences. The Asian Financial
Crisis of 1997, for example, saw the Thai economy collapse
as investment flew like a herd, and the crisis spread over
much of the region (Bullard, Bello & Mahotra, 1998).
Assisting them in forming an ASEAN cooperation with three
East Asian countries — China, Japan, and South Korea.
With the objective of confronting the situation and
assisting one another in dealing with it.
Then there is the cultural Westernization summed up in the
term ‘McWorld’ (Barber, 2003). Which led to cultural
homogenization and the destruction of cultural
diversity.McDonaldization has primarily focused on food, but it
has also referred to altering trends in music, apparel, television,
and movies. McDonaldization is also known as 'MTV-ization' or
'Hollywoodization' in this context
CONFRONTING CHALLENGES
OF GLOBALIZATION
CONFRONTING CHALLENGES
OF GLOBALIZATION

Asia's response has been to create regional alternatives

such as huge groups, small
groups, and local communities. Through the concept that
an Asian area serving as a
counterweight to globalization and western imperialism
should present itself in a variety of ways.
The concept of Asian values

Asian values proponents, such as Malaysia's the prime

Minister Mohamed Mahathir, believed that Asia has
culturally distinct traits that distinguish it from Western
liberal democracies, the Confucian Chun Yung or the
Islamic, awsatuha; to practice tolerance and compassion
towards others,' according to Mahathir (Langlois, 2001).
This is in contrast to Western principles, where "every
individual can do whatever he wants, free of government
restriction" and "individuals quickly determine that they
should breach every rule and code governing their society"
(Langlois, 2001). Asian values proponents believed that
Asians value authority, hard work, and thrift, and place a
greater emphasis on the community than the individual.
Another response to globalization was the emergence of
regional terror networks like
Jemaah Islamiyah (JI).

The point is that JI articulated a different vision of

regional political and social organization, one that
directly contradicts the globalization paradigm (ICG,
2002).
The Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS), for example, has
extended to Muslim
populations in the southern Philippines, Indonesia, and
Malaysia. These countries used their available resources to
reduce and eventually eliminate the effects of regional and
global terrorism on human displacement and misery. They
also developed military multilateral agreements to deal with
these recurring occurrences.
Different Asian states confront the challenges of
globalization and regionalization through the emergence
of new Asian regionalism, which aims to restore growth,
improve trade and investment opportunities, and create
welfare prospects in the Asian region.
