| | Asia's Post-crisis Regionalism: Bringing The State Back In, Keeping The (united) States Out |
 | | The contours of post-financial crisis regionalism are, by state design, aimed at restoring to Asia a greater degree of political power and autonomy vis-a-vis the rest of the world, and the United States and the international financial institutions it controls, in particular. |
 | | The Asian crisis was triggered by the decision of the Thai central bank to float the baht on July 2, 1997. |
 | | The stability which China’s ‘no devaluation’ policy brought to the crisis economies in the region, together with its support for the IMF, was expected, in the calculations of the Chinese leadership, to lead to a rehabilitation of China as a responsible member of the international community and to an enhanced regional and international role. |
