| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立政治大學 === 外交研究所 === 102 === Since the multilateral free trade negotiation under the WTO forum has been bogging down, States temporarily shift their free-trade policies to regional or bilateral FTA building. In addition, lessons learned from Asia economic and financial crisis make known that there’s a demand for stable regional circumstance in Northeast Asia. Accordingly, China, Japan and South Korea start their economic and trade cooperation under a trilateral framework. The governments of China, Japan and South Korea build mutual understanding and reach consensuses via lots of formal and informal meetings. As a result, in view of mutual interests and reciprocity, a trilateral economic and trade cooperation has been progressively constructed.
This study based on the point of view from neo-institutionalism, arguing that the development of economic and trade cooperation among China, Japan, and South Korea is due to their rational behavior on pursuing mutual and shared interests. With the help of the functions of the international institutions, China-Japan-South Korea trilateral economic and trade cooperation could be gradually realized in North East Asia, without no presence of a regional hegemony.
