Abstract
Regional cooperation and integration have been among the most conspicuous phenomena in the current international scene. Especially since the early 1990s, the formation of free trade agreements (FTAs) and other forms of regional arrangements has been seen in various parts of the world. However, there is one region that has lagged behind this move: Northeast Asia. For a long time, the region lacked the foundation of shared interests and common cohesion in the political, economic or social dimensions, and consequently concrete initiatives in promoting political and economic cooperation did not evolve.
