In the context of massive environmental problems in Southeast Asia, the countries in the region have decided, at least in some instances, to create regimes to solve these problems jointly. This empirical observation is surprising, given the Southeast Asian countries? general reluctance to regional cooperation, the governance and budgetary constraints that are typical for developing countries and the huge heterogeneity of the involved countries in terms of environmental vulnerability, economic capacity and hegemonic power. This book analyzes the creation and effectiveness of two environmental regimes, one on transboundary haze pollution and a second on resource management of the Mekong. It will be shown that regime creation is extremely problematic and strategies to overcome conflicting actor constellations are mostly lacking.

Keinginan untuk mengurangi ketergantungan dengan Barat menjadi dasar kuat bagi negara-negara ASEAN+3 untuk membuat kerja sama keuangan yang sesuai dengan kebutuhan negara-negara di kawasan ini. Berubahnya kerja sama CMI dari bilateral menjadi multilateral merupakan titik penting bagi kerja sama keuangan di Asia sebagai langkah awal untuk menuju regionalisasi kawasan. Kepentingan negara-negara besar di dalam kawasan ini tidak lepas begitu saja dalam pembentukan kerja sama CMIM. Cina dan Jepang, sebagai raksasa ekonomi Asia, berebut supremasi untuk memperoleh posisi pemimpin di dalam kerja sama tersebut. Penelitian ini ingin menganalisis mengapa kedua negara akhirnya mau bekerja sama secara multilateral mengingat sebelum tahun 2010 kerja sama yang dibentuk bersifat bilateral. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa melalui kerja sama multilateral, justru keuntungan yang bisa diperoleh oleh kedua negara lebih besar dibanding jika kedua negara mempertahankan status quo untuk bekerja sama secara bilateral. Selain itu, kompleksitas hubungan kedua negara tidak hanya ditandai dengan rivalitas yang ada namun juga ditunjukkan dengan makin tingginya derajat interdependensi di antara keduanya. ......The wants to eliminate the degree of dependence towards West became the main reason for ASEAN+3 states to establish financial cooperation, based on their own needs. The transformation of CMI cooperation from bilateral to multilateral was a key point for the financial cooperation in Asia as a first step striving for regionalization. Interests of big states within the cooperation cannot be excluded in establishing CMIM. China and Japan, two economic giants in the region, compete to obtain the leadership seat in the cooperation. The research is aimed to see and analyze why those two states finally decided to cooperate multilaterally after years of bilateralism upto year 2010. The result shows that through multilateral cooperation, the gain and interests that can be aimed by two states are bigger, instead of them being stagnant in status quo. Moreover, the complex relation between China and Japan is not only shown by the rivalry existing between them, but also the rising degree of interdependence amongst them.

Indonesia dan Jepang sepakat membentuk kerjasama Indonesia-Japan Economic Partnership Agreement (IJEPA) pada tanggal 13 Juli 2008 dengan mengikutsertakan sektor otomotif. Hal ini mengundang pertanyaan karena Indonesia tidak memiliki keunggulan komparatif seperti infrastruktur memadai, tenaga kerja terampil, dan teknologi yang dapat bersaing dengan negara lain. Melalui penelaahan terhadap konsep FTA, trickle down, dan spillover effect, didukung wawancara dengan beberapa institusi, ditemukan bahwa Indonesia menginginkan investasi dan penurunan tarif, peningkatan bargaining power, perluasan akses pasar, serta transfer teknologi. Kelima hal tersebut menjadi alasan yang mendasari disepakatinya sektor otomotif dalam kerjasama IJEPA. Sektor otomotif Indoesia juga memiliki nilai strategis dan berpotensi sebagai pasar otomotif terbesar di kawasan Asia Tenggara sehingga Jepang pun berniat menjalin kerjasama otomotif dengan Indonesia. ...... Indonesia and Japan agreed to establish a bilateral cooperation called an Indonesia-Japan Economic Partnership Agreement (IJEPA) on July 13 2008 that include automotive sector. But it had problems, because Indonesia did not have a comparative advantage such as adequate infrastructure, skilled labor, and technology that can compete with other countries. That's why, this research use FTA, trickle down, spillover effect cncept, and backep up interview with several institutions to analyse problem it. There are five reasons of the Government of Indonesia to agree on automotive sector in IJEPA like Indonesia wants investment and tariff reduction, increased bargaining power, expanding market, as well as technology transferr. Indonesia automotive sector also has strategic value and potential as the largest automotive market in Southeast Asia. Because of that, Japan joins in automotive cooperation with Indonesia.
