Description
Summary:Led by the rapidly growing People's Republic of China and India, East and South Asian economies are forging closer economic ties than ever before. The process of Pan-Asian integration has stimulated a growing debate on its impacts on insiders and outsiders. This book analyzes the patterns, determinants, impediments, and benefits of closer economic cooperation and integration between East and South Asia. It makes a powerful and realistic case for Pan-Asian integration. The critical issues covered by leading thematic experts include regional patterns of trade and investment, services trade, trade and monetary cooperation, infrastructure, logistics and trade facilitation, developments in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations and the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation, and a computable general equilibrium model-based analysis of the effects of alternative integration schemes. Filled with new empirical data and analysis, this book is a must-read for anyone interested in international trade and regional integration in Asia, the world's most dynamic region.
