No Asian country could effectively lead the effort. 2. An ‘Asia only’ grouping would risk dividing rather than uniting the two sides of the Pacific. 3. The United States could indeed play a decisive role in making an APMF work. These reasons reflect the different interests of the US and the IMF and the – to some extent disappointed – East Asian states led by an increasingly active Japan. The Japanese government was much more willing to use its economic weight to wield influence in the region than previously.
The non-binding character of the ASEM process and its overall principle to deal with each other as equals makes it easier for the Asian 42 ASEM and EU-style Economic Integration in East Asia partners to accept European-style financial integration as a point of reference or even as a blueprint for East Asian efforts.

43 The East Asian region catching up with its triadic partners (or competitors) can thus be seen as a major source of instability in the global system. This incertitude of future development should be taken into account. 44 It is therefore very difficult to come to an objective judgment on whether economic and monetary integration will ultimately benefit the Asian region or whether the Asian states would be better off remaining in a more bilateral relationship with the US. Such a move would counter any positive effect Japan could hope to cash in as a regional economic hegemon.
