In this paper the author explored the future of East Asian civilization, focusing on its cultural identity in the age of globalizaton. To do this, first, a preliminary examination of core concepts and phenomena such as "globalization," "Westcentrism," and the "Rise of East Asia" was made, for these factors brought the issue of the cultural identity of East Asia to the fore since the early 1990s. Then, in order to understand the cultural identity of East Asia in light of globalization more concretely, the cultural and economic impact of globalization upon East Asia was investigated by discussing theories regarding the cultural effect of globalization and the tri-polar regionalization of the global capitalism with special focus upon ongoing sub-regionalzation in the Great South China and the Bohai Rim regions. Finally, on the basis of the preceding discussions the Asian values discourse which is more directly related to the cultural identity of East Asia was reviewed and some prospective suggestions for building viable cultural identity were made.
