International relations in the Asia-Pacific region have entered a new stage in the 21st century. The new phase is characterized by three aspects. First, values, roles, and functions of a state system and transnational activities have been coexisting, affecting one another. At the same time, although the state system has still been strong, transnational activities have been institutionalized at various levels. Second, globalization has in fact led to noticeable regional issues such as environmental problems and infectious diseases. In other words, globalization has paradoxically brought regionalization. Third, China has rapidly risen as a major power. Even though these aspects could be indispensable factors for de facto regional integration in Asia, they have posed a risk of causing strained relations in the region in the absence of adequate measures. Therefore, it is essential to set a clear goal and strategy, based on which a clear concept for personnel training should be developed. The GIARI model is an attempt to overcome these challenges. |
