''This book is valuable for its wealth of information and observations on how economic dynamics have shaped recent intergovernmentalism in East Asia.'' - Stephen Hoadley, Contemporary Southeast Asia

''...this book is an essential read for anyone interested in East Asian regionalism, and Yoshimatsu has raised the bar with his novel analysis of trans-regional business lobbies in Southeast and Northeast Asia.'' - Mireya Solís, International Relations of the Asia Pacific

''The abundant information Yoshimatsu presents is an excellent resource for further exploration of East Asian regionalism. This book is therefore recommended to those who are interested in inter-state relationships in East Asia at its current stage of development.'' - East Asia
