[Pembentukan Chiang Mai Initiative Multilateralization (CMIM) merupakan sebuah dinamika baru dalam kawasan Asia. Regionalisme finansial di kawasan
tersebut seolah menjadi hal yang baru karena sebelumnya hubungan kerjasama antar-negara lebih bersifat bilateral. Negara-negara ASEAN+3 menciptakan mekanisme regional untuk mencapai solusi permasalahan neraca pembayaran dan
krisis finansial. Sebagai institusi finansial regional, CMIM melakukan hubungan
institusional yang bersifat nesting dengan International Monetary Fund (IMF)
institusi finansial global. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa hubungan
nesting dipengaruhi kepentingan politis ASEAN+3 dalam struktur rezim finansial
global. CMIM merupakan upaya untuk meningkatkan posisi leverage negaranegara di kawasan Asia Timur dan Asia Tenggara dalam rezim finansial global., The establishment of Chiang Mai Initiative Multilateralization (CMIM) is creating

overcome balance of payments problem and financial crisis in the future. As a
regional financial institution, CMIM created an institutional nesting linkage to the
International Monetary Fund (IMF) as a global financial institutions. The result
