Chapter 13 in Regional Integration and Economic Development, 2001, pp 138-157 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The aim of this chapter is to compare the two most dynamic regions of the world — East Asia and the Americas — from two different angles: (a) their economic integration framework, especially their modes of liberalization, and implications for trans-Pacific cooperation and multilateral liberalization; (b) the dynamic trade and investment processes taking place in the two regions, their driving forces, and their implications for trans-Pacific economic relations.
