Abstract
East Asia and East Asian regionalism have gained greater attention. Given this, what
makes this region and who determines its shape are very important questions, which
are, in turn, highly relevant to questions of regional leadership. This thesis thus aims
to examine and explain the nature of Sino-Japanese regional leadership and explore
its impacts on the shape of the East Asia region and East Asian regionalism. It does
so particularly with reference to the CMI and regional organisation-building from the
APT to the EAS.
The thesis explores two key themes. First, it seeks to bridge a gap in the study
of East Asian regionalism in particular and East Asia in general by focusing on the
dynamics of Sino-Japanese leadership competition. There is still a lack of a
dedicated study to examine the dynamics of regional leadership in the region and its
impact on the East Asia region and East Asian regionalism. It addresses why regional
powers assert regional leadership and how their assertions of regional leadership
change their interests and behaviours with regard to regional cooperation. By doing
so, it can help better comprehend the interests and strategies of China and Japan and
their impacts on the shape of East Asian regionalism.
Secondly, this thesis aims to fill in a gap in the study of global or regional
leadership by developing a constructivist analytical tool to define leadership and
examine the dynamics of leadership. It highlights that neither the realist and liberal
approaches to international leadership nor the emerging literature on regional powers
provides a good analytical tool to conceptualise regional leadership and to examine
the dynamics of regional leadership competition. It argues that some insights of
constructivism help to better comprehend the dynamics of regional leadership.
