In a series of empirically rich chapters, Wei Liang and Faizullah Khilji convincingly show how, even despite the absence of a leader and a master plan, an East Asian space formed as a result of the 1997-98 Asian Financial and 2008 Global Economic Crises, Western inertia and policy failings, East Asian successes, the rise of China-centric production networks, national interests, and the demise of traditional security imperatives, which collectively delegitimized conventional dogmas and players, and supported new forms of regional collaboration.
