Abstract
This article is a response to Timo Kivimaki's important article about peace in East Asia. The article focuses on Northeast Asia's structural configurations (i.e., economic interdependence and deterrence systems) contributing to peace in East Asia. This article essentially argues when it comes down to peace in East Asia, two subregions of East Asia, namely Northeast Asia and Southeast Asia, must be analyzed to recognize different subregions' structural orders affecting East Asia as a whole.
