This talk, after providing an analysis of the current stage of regionalisation in the GMS, will focus on a Southeast Asian development paradigm that challenges Western models and defies the laws of international relations’ theories when detached from trans-disciplinary area studies. In particular, regionalisation in Southeast Asia will be analysed though the lenses of Chinese and Japanese participation: motives behind their involvement, the rules of engagement, the separation of operating grounds, the balance of power, and conflicts of interest. Finally, a brief but insightful analysis of domestic, regional and global implications of such participation will be discussed.
