    Critical junctures and institution-building: regional cooperation on free trade and food security in East Asia
    in Pacific Review (The) , Volume 29, Issue 5, 2016 ,  2016 ,  693-715
    This study examines conditions under which states in East Asia engage in the development of regional institutions. It assumes that crucial external events and shocks, which produce specific historical breakpoints – critical junctures – constitute a significant breakpoint at which the regional states willingly elevated a path to develop regional institutions to a new level. The analysis of the development of regional institutions for a free trade area and food stock for emergency revealed that regional states in East Asia changed their views on the evolving reality created by external shocks and such changes led to the creation of new regional institutions.
