Abstract: Abstract Against the complex landscape of the global economy, the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership represents one of the most prominent free trade agreements worldwide. It seeks to reduce tariffs, unify economic and trade rules, and offer tailored cooperation pathways for member economies at varying stages of development. It is an influential driver of reconstructing future dynamics of international pattern development, issuing a strong signal against unilateralism and protectionism. This article conducts a comprehensive research on the Web of Science database and gathers 539 articles retrieved from 1984 to 2026. Subsequently, use Vosviewer and Bibliometrix software to visualize the data. The results show that this topic has attracted more attention since 2021, with the main keyword being “economy”. China is the most relevant country in the literature of this research field. It encompasses numerous important research fields, including economics, law, sustainable development studies, energy, the environment, and international trade. The outcomes of this analysis can provide valuable references and guidance for future research in related areas.
