Reading list: International order and Asian regional order

A few months ago, I polled some experts on twitter to compile a list of resources for a friend who wanted to read up on international order and the Asian regional order. As it turns out, they’ve also come in handy for my PhD research, but I thought I’d share the compiled list here too for others who may be interested.
