East Asia Summit Falls Short in Creating Asian Union Dream

The East Asia Summit (EAS)-Really Towards an East Asian Community (EAC)?
Axel Berkofsky

Paper Summary

The East Asia Summit (EAS) in 2005 aimed to promote regional integration in Asia and discuss the creation of an East Asian Community (EAC). However, the summit did not lead to significant progress towards an EU-style Asian Union. The results were limited, and there was a gap between political rhetoric and reality. The EAS did not generate enough political will for deeper integration in Asia.
