A thoughtful, insightful and penetrating account of the underlying differences of governance models in the EU and Northeast Asia, illustrating how adherence to multilateralism propels European integration while the existence of nationalism impedes regional cooperation in Northeast Asia. This novel analysis is a must-read for all those interested in the study and debate of comparative regionalism.

Prof. Emil J. Kirchner,Jean Monnet Chair, University of Essex

This illuminating study looks at the changes of international governance comparing the paradoxical developments in Europe and North East Asia. The novel comparative approach allows for fresh insights concerning the dynamics of international society driven by nationalism and multilateralism, offering a clear-sighted analysis of the challenges faced by the current international order. This is a must-read not only for academics, but even more so for policy advisors, diplomats and professionals in international relations.

Prof. Dr. Klaus Mhlhahn,Professor of Chinese Studies, Free University Berlin

Rethinking Governance in Europe and Northeast Asia

This book explores how nationalism and multilateralism transform international society and global governance. It does so by comparing the governance model of the EU a constitutionalised and increasingly polycentric form of multilateralism with Northeast Asia. There nationalist administrations have resisted multilateral commitments and are locked into rivalries instead of pursuing a regional project.

Both Europe and Northeast Asia can be seen as success stories of the late 20th/early 21st centuries, but by having followed different approaches to international governance. The book traces these two trajectories through critical junctures in history to how both regions have dealt with the contemporary challenges of the financial crisis and climate change. During the financial crisis, Europes multilateral economic and monetary architecture revealed profound weaknesses whilst national policies allowed much of Northeast Asia to escape the worst of it. On climate change the European Union (EU) has developed effort-sharing governance models to reduce emissions, while Northeast Asian countries are relying on greening national industrial policy. The book argues that global governance has to find the balance between multilateralism and nationalism in order to find collaborative approaches to global challenges.

This book provides a fresh take on the EU and on Northeast Asia and develops innovative concepts of international society and polycentric governance. Thus, it will be of considerable interest to researchers and students of global governance, international relations, EU and Asia Studies.

Uwe Wissenbach studied at the London School of Economics, Mainz and Lille universities and was awarded his PhD in political science at the University of Duisburg-Essen. He is a career EU diplomat and a research associate at the Free University Brussels (ULB) Institute for European Studies.

Routledge Global Cooperation Series

The Routledge Global Cooperation series develops innovative approaches to one of the most pressing questions of our time how to achieve cooperation in a culturally diverse and politically contested global world?

Many key contemporary problems such as climate change and forced migration require intensified cooperation on a global scale. Accelerated globalisation processes have led to an ever-growing interconnectedness of markets, states, societies and individuals. Many of todays problems cannot be solved by nation states alone and require intensified cooperation at the local, national, regional and global level to tackle current and looming global crises.

I dedicate this book to my late parents, Willi and Marlene Wissenbach, who were the ones who have most helped me to get to where I am and to enjoy learning and researching; to my wife Lin Wang and my daughter Lili Yu He Wissenbach, who have been very patient and encouraging while I was sacrificing family time to a thesis and book project. I know that despite occasional complaints they are proud of the nerd in the family.

Practice benefits from academic depth but also nourishes scepticism about one-size-fits-all theories. A Chinese scholar, Zhao Xihu (Southern Song, active circa 1195 to circa 1242), expressed it more poetically: Ones mind should contain thousands of books. Ones eyes should have read hundreds of great books and scriptures of previous ages and generations. And the wheels and footprints of ones wagon and horse should have been to half of the entire world. Only then, one can pick up his brush. That is what I set out to do and that is why I waited more than twenty years after my masters degree to do a doctorate.
