Abstract
From a historical perspective, this article tries to analyze the formation and development of three sorts of regionalism in East Asia. Any regionalism obviously entails specific patterns of competition and cooperation among the related countries, and thus different interest to all of them. These countries collude and collide from one another accordingly when the regionalism forms, operates, and changes. In order to upgrade political autonomy and accelerate economic development of the ASEAN nations as a whole, Aseanism was originated in the presence of the East-West confrontation in the Cold-war ear, and expanded when economic cooperation and security consultation had been emphasized in the age of the Post Cold-war. Furthermore, while the U.S. and other advanced countries attempted to promote an Asia-Pacificism to rearrange the political and economic order in East Asia after the phase-out of the Cold-war, China and Japan respectively endorsed different versions of East-Asianism when they each had distinct strategic interest and considerations. The development of these sorts of regionalism had been conditioned by the hegemonic struggle between the continental world and the maritime world of the region in the Cold-war era; this impact seems to have still been there when the struggle obviously continues.
