Abstract: For a decade now, Asia?s regionalism has been in mutation. There has been a proliferation of economic agreements and institutional arrangements bundled together without much coherence. These regional dynamics reflect the diversity in understanding and interests among Asia?s great power and have resulted in a form of regionalism different from past American and European experience but which ultimate form remains uncertain. This uncertainty comes from the confrontation of American, Chinese and Japanese views of the optimal institutional arrangement for Asia which leaves the ASEAN as Asia?s regionalism cornerstone. This paper first reviews different theoretical views of the ?New Regionalism? in Asia and compares the approach of the regions? main powers and then concludes that Asia?s regionalism institutional forms are rising from the pacific coexistence and competition of various visions and practices of regionalism: the ASEAN+3 (favored by China), the Asian Summit (favored by Japan) and the Asia-Pacific (favored by the US).
