Economic-Security nexus in East Asia and Western Europe

以下是我们关于东亚和西欧经济-安全关系的集体研究项目的主要成果。(1)理论维度：构建了一个理论模型：集成-安全治理模型。在这样做的过程中，我们修改了金德伯格的霸权稳定模型和恩斯特·哈斯的新功能主义，将这两者与全球化的变量结合起来。(2)经济维度：将工业投入产出分析应用于东亚和东南亚的大量统计数据。我们还逐个部门考察了跨国公司在区域经济一体化中的作用，并与西欧的相关数据进行了比较，并进一步检验了有关东亚/东南亚经济一体化的现有理论。(3)政治维度：一方面，我们已经认识到中国政治的巨大/困难，这构成了在东亚和西欧这两个地区构想任何一体化项目的主要差异。然而，另一方面，通过对中国加入世贸组织及其安全观转变的积极经济和政治影响的肯定分析，我们得出结论，中国可以很好地处于东亚区域一体化中。

The following are the main results of our collective research project on the Economic-Security nexus in East Asia and Western Europe.(1) The Theoretical Dimension: We have constructed a theoretical model: the Integration-Security Governance Model. In so doing we modified the Hegemonic Stability Model of Kinderberger and Neo-Functionalism of Ernst Hass, by combining these two with the variable of Globalization.(2) The Economic Dimension: The industrial input-output analysis has been applied to the massive amount of statistical data as regards East and Southeast Asia. We also examined - sector by sector, and in comparison with the relevant data on Western Europe - the functions of multinational firms in relation to regional economic integration, and went on to test the existing theories on East/Southeast Asian economic integration.(3) The Political Dimension: On the one hand, we have acknowledged the enormity/difficulty of the polity of China, which constitutes the major difference in conceiving any integrative project in the two regions: East Asia and Western Europe. On the other hand, however, we have concluded that China can well be situated in East Asian regional integration, by affirmatively analyzing the positive implications-economic and political - of China's WTO membership and the transformation of its security conceptions.
