본문내용

This paper mainly consists of two sections. The first section describes existing arguments of why China has changed its attitude toward regional integration. It first looks at main causes of China’s passive attitude toward economic integration in East Asia, and then points out how change in global economic environment has allowed China to overcome such passiveness. The second section examines the real reason that prompted China’s leadership to take an unexpected turn from reluctance to active involvement in the integration. It explicates how China’s change of attitude is a strategic shift to become a hegemonic power in the region. Understanding the reason why China veered its course toward integration in East Asia is critical, because, as one of the two most influential p_badtagss in the process of East Asian integration, along with Japan, grasping China’s true intentions behind its action enables us to predict the direction and consequence of the integration in East Asia.
