Summary/Abstract: Global economic governance is most frequently associated with the functioning of a number of closely linked institutions operating in the area of the economy and international finance, and as such has a “Western origin”. At the beginning of the second decade of the 21st century, we can observe that some of the countries from Eastern and Southeastern Asia aspire to increase their participation in global economic governance. This article argues that when they meet specific conditions, such as increasing their roles in the G20 and the International Monetary Fund, consolidating regional cooperation, abandoning export-based economic growth, and enhancing political leadership in the region, the Asian countries, particularly China, India, Japan, South Korea and Indonesia, will be able to use their potential and play a much greater role in the new, not necessarily Western system of global governance.
