AbstractFinancial integration is less pronounced in East Asia than among states in Europe and North America or compared to economic integration within the region. Cross-border trade flows, direct investment and investment in capital goods have long been greater and faster growing than other investment flows, while regional institutional and legal structures are scarce and frequently insubstantive. This dichotomy persists despite suggestions since the early 1990s that Asian financial integration would accelerate, especially following the Asian financial crisis of 1997-98 and including national enthusiasm for the World Trade Organization. This article suggests explanations in legal, governance and institutional frameworks for the paradox of modest financial integration, despite increasing regional cooperation, accompanying robust economic growth and trade integration. However, the recent global financial crisis provides opportunities and incentives for the region to endorse greater financial integration, sacrificing state sovereignty so that transnational financial arrangements may function effectively. Of several future post-crisis initiatives, an Asian Monetary Fund would be the most demanding to design and implement.
