| Summary/Abstract |
This article has two objectives. Drawing on the framework provided by macrosecuritization, this article first explores global responses to AMR. Secondly, in shifting the analytical lens to Asia, the article then evaluates how successful this process has been in a regional context. Considering the two objectives, two inter-related arguments are proposed. First, even though AMR can be considered a quintessential and successful macrosecuritization case at the global level, within Asia the operationalisation of AMR strategies is limited by power and resource politics within the states. Second, the anthropocentric nature of health security is limited when it comes to address the threat posed by AMR. Overcoming this limitation requires a One Health approach. However, the successful articulation of this approach has proven challenging in Asia where middle-level actors pull away from the process in pursuit of other agendas. As a result, while macrosecuritization provides a useful tool for understanding how AMR and similar health threats are addressed, it is necessary to understand the local realities within which the process is embedded.

| Summary/Abstract |
Which condition between power concentration and power parity among regional countries is conducive to regional economic integration? The literature has suggested mixed findings as to the influence of power distribution. This study examines conditional effects of power distribution by identifying associated conditions to produce formal regional economic integration. Based on the comprehensive data on plurilateral trade agreements, this study employs both fuzzy set Qualitative Comparative Analysis (fsQCA) and process tracing techniques. The fsQCA reveals multiple jointly sufficient conditions to the outcome. In particular, I focus on two such conditions: (1) the presence of a regional hegemon with surrounding countries of homogeneous polity type and (2) the strong intraregional trade interdependence in conjunction with power parity among countries. These conditions are further supported in within-case analyses. These results indicate the conditional effect of power distribution and the existence of multiple paths toward regional economic integration.
