This dissertation aims to analyze the international relations in East Asia with a focus on research into the phenomenon of regional integration and the competition for leadership in the region through the mechanisms of integration by their local major powers, China and Japan. The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) and its deployment structure, ASEAN +3, comprising the ten member countries of the association beyond the three most influential countries in Northeast Asia, China, Japan and South Korea, are the object of research, since that being the main mechanisms of integration of the region, are more likely to experience Chinese and Japanese competition for the role of main actor and regional leader. The growing importance of the mechanisms of integration in East Asia due to the increased integration that it has been acquiring, a different kind of integration when compared to European Union, brings greater representation for the region in the world and for its member countries within the region. This type of prominence acquired by the pattern of regional framework, which provides trade growth in the region and its development, began to attract the regional powers, once they constitute an interesting and important instrument of regional policy. The Japanese and Chinese States have long-standing historical problems, which brings higher distrust and instability in the region, increasing the competition between the two actors for greater influence in regional integration groups, believing to be possible through this maneuver to achieve regional leadership. Thus, what this dissertation aims to show is: how Japan and China use the mechanisms of regional integration - with ASEAN and ASEAN +3 in evidence - to perpetuate its policy in the region as a means of attaining power, which are the objectives, benefits and interests to become the regional leader, and to suggest which country has the greatest potential to become a leader and through what kind of leadership.
