This unique compilation of essays addresses a core political
economy question: how do market forces and trade regulation
interact? Its fresh Asian perspective offers a much-needed
contribution to our understanding of how treaty-based regional and
bilateral economic integration is driven by the Factory Asia
phenomenon. The authors also compellingly show where the World
Trade Organization could fit in. An informative read for scholars
and experts alike.' - Manfred Elsig, University of Bern,
SwitzerlandThe global financial crisis exposed great shortcomings
in the global economic architecture, generating extensive
international debate about possible remedies for these
deficiencies. The postwar global architecture was guided by major
developed economies, centered around the IMF, the GATT, and the
World Bank. Today, the balance of economic power is shifting toward
emerging economies. Global governance and economic policy must
reflect this shift. With contributions from prominent Asian and
international trade experts, this book critically examines key
changes occurring in the world trading system and explores policy
implications for Asia. The world trading system, led by the World
Trade Organization (WTO), is under pressure to evolve and address
21st-century trade issues. Meanwhile, economically salient Asia has
built deep supply chains over decades, whilst experimenting with
mega-regional trade agreements and economic policies to sustain
growth amid a fragile economy. The Asian-led Regional Comprehensive
Economic Partnership (RCEP) and the United States-led Trans-Pacific
Strategic Economic Partnership (TPP) are competing to set standards
for Asia's trade and supply chains. Lessons from the Asian
experience offer new approaches and economic policies to sustain
growth, presenting the WTO as a forum for action to improve global
and regional trade governance in the 21st century. Policy makers
will benefit from the expert knowledge and policy lessons presented
in this book, and development economists and researchers will
profit from its critical examination of the world trading system.
Undergraduate and postgraduate students interested in development,
development economics, international development, and related
fields will find this essential supplementary reading.
