Change and Continuity: Asian Cultural Identities and Nationalism in a Globalising Age. Sum, E. B. In pages 23--36, October, 2006. The Executive Agency for Culture Cities, The Ministry of Culture & Tourism. abstract bibtex Increasing inter-connectivity and decreasing boundaries are only some of the globalising forces that brought the world to Asia Pacific and vice versa. Responding in kind, Asia Pacific regionalism aims to present a regional market to facilitate outwardlooking trade. Presumed cultural similarities and values aid this movement. Yet the culturally destabilising effects of both forces come to bear as intra-Asian cultural and national differences amongst surface similarities makes groups want to assert their individual cultural identities above others clamouring for attention in the region and beyond. This is seen at the group level, with paranational Asian cultural identities seeking to re-assert themselves and at the national level, with the awakening of Asian nationalism as a response to the presence of cultural "others". Interestingly, non-ethnically and culturally homogenous nations are more likely to face these phenomena than others in the region. A possible way forward for approaching issues of regional ethnicity and cultural identity is to strive for multiculturalism and not the melting pot, yet it remains to be seen if true multiculturalism can exist as cultural identities and groups seek to reassert themselves.
