This paper addresses three key issues and analyzes foreign policy options available to the Korean Government in East Asian region-building. Three key questions are as follows: what makes a group of disparate nations (ASEAN) take up a leadership role in 'emerging East Asian regionalism?'; in the midst of deep-seated rivalry between Japan and China for shaping the East Asia in its own image/policy preferences, what are the current contours of evolving regional architecture in the economic and political area?; what has been Korea's role in this process and what policy options are desirable and implementable to Korea? It is argued that Korea needs to play a strategic actor's role in East Asian region-building and it has yet to form coalition with the ASEAN countries to fulfill the role.
