The Asia Pacific Economic Co-operation (APEC) forum was established
as a regional grouping in 1989 to deal with the issues arising from
growing regional interdependence. Its stated aim is to build 'a
prosperous Asia-Pacific through free and open trade and investment'
and it now has twenty-one member economies, including China, Hong
Kong, Japan, South Korea, Chinese Taipei, Thailand, Malaysia,
Singapore, Brunei, Philippines, Indonesia, Vietnam, Australia, New
Zealand, Papua New Guinea, Russia, Canada, the USA, Mexico, Peru
and Chile. The APEC Summit of Leaders and Ministers from around the
region is the major dialogue on economic and political affairs
across the Pacific each year. But APEC continues to evolve in a bid
to keep pace with the rise of East Asian economic and political
power, first around the emergence of Japan as a great industrial
nation, later with the rise of the other East Asian economies, the
remarkable growth of China and, more recently, the emergence of
India.
This newMajor Work from Routledge is a five-volume collection
which covers in depth the origins and history of APEC, its
achievements and the impact it has had-and continues to have-on
international relations and economic cooperation in general. It
provides the information, analysis and interpretation that are
essential to thinking about the economic and political framework
within which these unprecedented changes in the structure of the
world economy might be managed more or less successfully.
