Abstract

This article contributes to the discussion on the role of regions in global governance. It is justified by the need to orient international system toward governance exercised by multilateral political institutions, still displaced by corporate economic dominance. The chosen methodology uses representative Asian organizations to conduct a holistic examination of 14 subsystems, which allows for determining how they incorporate multilateral values and guidelines and subsequently identifying potential contributions to a more democratic international order. It confirms that multilateral support for Asian decolonization process contributed to the region's extensive and sustained commitment to the United Nations, the highest universal political institution, and, as a reverse effect, the growing participation of Asian cooperation and integration organizations in multilateral political governance is foreseeable.
