The regional configuration of the Asia-Pacific has been different from the 20th century with some new elements, characteristics, or even paradigm. The paper mainly attempts to explore as well as comprehend the changes through the concept of ''regional architecture.'' Different from the ''San Francisco system'' or the ''hubs-and-spokes'' alliances that dominated by the United States in the Cold-War era, the paper finds that the regional architecture of the Asia-Pacific after 2000 has revealed some characteristics, including: multiple architects competing for the mater of building Asia-Pacific regional architecture; the trend and development of Asianization and bilateralization; multiple regional arrangements coexisting and crisscrossing with one another; competition and harmonization between East Asian and Asia-Pacific regionalism; and increasing interaction and interlink between economic and security issues in the agenda setting. More importantly, these changes and new developments through a bottom-up process would not only shape the future Asia-Pacific regional architecture, but also present political-economic and strategic implications for Taiwan. |
