In an age in which it is increasingly necessary for nations to
consider their competitiveness and at a time when the world economy
is facing recession, this book explores the possible trajectory of
ASEAN - arguably one of the most dynamic areas in the world - as a
regional economic and political bloc. This important and timely
study focuses on the role of foreign direct investment in advancing
the performance of ASEAN and the competitiveness of its firms,
whereas other studies typically focus solely on the role of trade.
The expert contributors - an interdisciplinary assembly of
economists, lawyers and political scientists - present a
comprehensive view of ASEAN's experiences over the past decade,
addressing the industrial competitiveness of ASEAN and analysing
the role of MNEs against the background of the challenges of
integration. They illustrate that regional integration will only be
a success if ASEAN's linkages are broadened with global partners
through negotiations of Free Trade Agreements. The book concludes
that although much still remains to be done, and many promises are
still to be unveiled, ASEAN's `coming of age' is a historic
milestone. Competitiveness of the ASEAN Countries will appeal to a
broad readership including students, academics and researchers with
an interest in Asian studies, international business, international
economics and international law.
