“…However, the concept of regionalism is more appropriate to be expressed in the form of a sovereign institution, which allowscooperation beyond political aspects/power. In the context of regionalism, there is no natural cooperation, but instead, cooperation through the rules administered by policymakers in achieving regional interests from an economic, political, and sociocultural point of view (Leifer 1975;Yukawa 2018). ASEAN regionalism was formed from the prospect of mutual advantages in the form of cooperation and to deal with security threats.…”

The concepts and functions of The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) are different from those of other regional and international institutions, organizations, and bodies. This paper aims to analyze the concept of regionalism practiced by using the liberal institutionalism theory approach, which has successfully driven ASEAN to remain strong as an organization based on mutual relations in every aspect of politics, economy, culture, and society. This analyzes the connection between ASEAN regionalism and the liberal institutionalism theory approach, which has driven ASEAN through security cooperation until this day. ASEAN continues to operate as a regional organization that has grown from its regional cooperation through regionalism. This study discusses the various approaches on liberal institutionalism applied in interpreting ASEAN regionalism, especially in the context of economic, political, and social security cooperation. The link between globalization, the theory of liberal institutionalism, and the process of regionalism have been given significant attention, as many factors are interconnected between the subjects in the context of this study. Most of the data acquired for this study have been extracted from books, journal articles, reports by the ASEAN Secretariat, as well as library sources, in line with the need for suitable methodologies to conduct this research.

“…Compared to ROs, information on EU institutions and their effects tends to be more readily available for policy-makers around the world, partly due to the extensive academic literature on the organization. At the same time, recent research on outside perceptions of the EU indicates that political elites in countries involved in regional integration processes view the EU not only as 'the most successful example of regional integration' (Fioramonti and Poletti 2008: 172) but also as highly relevant to their own efforts at institutionalized regional cooperation (Final Report 2008;Chaban, Holland, and Ryan 2009;Yukawa 2018). As EU institutions evolve, the information derived from the EU experience is likely to evolve too.…”

Interorganizational Diffusion in International Relations

How and under what conditions does the European Union (EU) shape processes of institution building in other regional organizations? This book develops and tests a theory of interorganizational diffusion in international relations that explains how successful pioneer organizations shape institutional choices in other organizations by affecting the institutional preferences and bargaining strategies of national governments. The author argues that Europe’s foremost regional organization systematically affects institution building abroad, but that such influence varies across different types of organization. Mixing quantitative and qualitative methods, it shows how the EU institutionally strengthens regional organizations through active engagement and by building its own institutions at home. Yet the contractual nature of other regional organizations bounds this causal influence: EU influence makes an identifiable difference primarily in those organizations that, like the EU itself, rest on an open-ended contract. Evidence for these claims is drawn from the statistical analysis of a dataset on the institutionalization of 35 regional organizations in the period from 1950 to 2017, as well as from detailed single and comparative case studies on institutional creation and (non-)change in the Southern African Development Community, Mercosur, the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, and the North American Free Trade Agreement.

“…First, there is a prevalent focus on studying citizenship in ROs by conducting in-depth single case studies, resulting in a limited understanding of citizenship variation across ROs. Moreover, these studies take an EU-centric approach (Yukawa, 2018). Second, the research conducted on citizenship in ROs currently focuses on citizenship framed as a legal status.…”

Varieties of citizenship in regional organisations: A cross-regional comparison of rights, access, and belonging

This paper explores the variation of citizenship in eight regional organisations (ROs). Since the 1980s, ROs have increasingly served as spaces for developing, regulating, and providing citizenship. However, current literature primarily takes a rights-based approach and focuses on a narrow set of cases without providing an account for the variation of citizenship in ROs. This paper offers a broad, conceptual approach to the study of regional citizenship and deploys a three-tiered conceptual framework consisting of rights, access, and belonging, to analyse how citizenship varies across different ROs. It challenges the current theorisation of regional citizenship, which is primarily rooted in the study of the EU’s rights-based approach. The analysis contributes to citizenship studies and comparative regionalism. It shows how citizenship varies across ROs, thus providing the first comprehensive cross-regional comparison. The empirical findings lead to the following insights. First, citizenship in regional organisations can be conceptualised as constitutional or practice-based. Second, there are different pathways to regional citizenship where practices might precede law or where citizenship in ROs remains a practice-based concept. Third, there is variation in the link between national and regional citizenship and how ROs provide access to regional citizenship.
