  • A Glance at the Background and Current Directions of Cultural Diplomacy in Eastern Asia
    A Glance at the Background and Current Directions of Cultural Diplomacy in Eastern Asia by Sam Powney The Regional Economic and Political Context: Pan-Asian Forums When talking about East Asia, it is important to try to define exactly what the term means. According to the United Nations (UN) definition, 'Eastern Asia', includes China, Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, Japan, North and South Korea, and Mongolia. As always when trying to draw regional boundaries, the line seems arbitrary wherever it is placed. In fact the term exists largely to distinguish North-East Asia from South East Asia and Russia, although both those broad lines are of debatable usefulness. After all, in the north, the national borders that separate northern China, the Republic of Mongolia, Kazakhstan and Russia, do not strictly follow ethnic boundaries, and most South-east Asian countries have strong links with Chinese culture, many with large Chinese-speaking populations. The interconnected relationship between countries across the broad sweep of north-east Asia, South-east Asia and even the Indian subcontinent are becoming more apparent with the gradual enlargement of pan-Asian economic forums that began in 1967 with the creation of ASEAN (Association of South East Asian Nations). ASEAN expanded over the years, and now includes Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines,Singapore, Thailand, Brunei, Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, and Vietnam. The ASEAN Plus Three meetings (ASEAN members plus China, Japan and South Korea), began in 1997 and were institutionalized two years later at the first such summit by that name, held in Manila. On December 14th 2005 the first East Asia Summit, including all the ASEAN Plus Three members as well as India, Australia, and New Zealand, was held in Kuala Lumpur.
