Attempts and Reasons for Failure of Regional Cooperation Organizations in East Asia

Abstract

The possibility for regional collaboration and community-building remains enticing in an age of globalization and interdependence. This paper examines the interconnected forces that impede China, Japan, and South Korea's collaborative attempts to form a unified regional community. This research offers insight on the numerous hurdles that stand in the way of this cooperative vision through a tripartite lens of political differences, economic competitiveness, and US interference. It also sheds light on the varied nature of the challenges that China, Japan, and South Korea confront while working together to form a regional community. The paper aims to give three nations with reference ideas for resolving this complex and intricate multilateral relationship. In any event, the three East Asian nations should work hard to bridge their differences and forge constructive relationships. The fruits of such initiatives can determine East Asia's future pattern.
