Competitive markets are now established in most successful
economies but the question of what competition is and what it means
for policy in developing countries is often overlooked. This book
provides a refreshing and critical examination of the issues
relating to market competition and competition policy. The book
discusses competition from different theoretical perspectives and
examines the implications these viewpoints have for policy. The
contributors assess competitiveness in domestic markets and the
impact of foreign competition. They also review the experiences of
a range of countries in developing competition policy and examine
both the strengths and weaknesses of these policies. Written in a
non-technical manner, Competitive Advantage and Competition Policy
in Developing Countries is addressed to policymakers, as well as
academics, concerned with regulation and competition. It will also
be of interest to regulators in dedicated agencies such as utility
regulators, competition agencies and those dealing with regulatory
impact assessment.

Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) account for about 97-99
per cent of total enterprises and 60-80 per cent of total
employment in ASEAN countries. The participation of SMEs is thus
crucial for achieving greater regional economic integration amongst
ASEAN countries. SMEs are, however, often constrained by many
disadvantages that limit their abilities to become importers and
exporters. This is well documented in the research literature on
trade and firm size. This volume contains selected ASEAN country
studies on the participation of SMEs in regional economic
integration based on primary microdata. This is supplemented by
empirical studies on the role played by East Asian multinational
enterprises in the region.
The level of outward foreign direct investment (OFDI) flows from
ASEAN countries has increased rapidly in past two decades. This
book examines OFDI trends and patterns in the ASEAN region
including the impact of the ASEAN Economic Community. It also
provides analyses of country policies affecting OFDI and the
drivers of OFDI in Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore and Vietnam.
Myanmar is studied as an investment frontier for other ASEAN
countries.
The e-commerce market has grown rapidly within the ASEAN region in
recent years. This trend is expected to continue in the future
given the region's large population base, rising middle-class and
improvements in connectivity. This edited volume examines the
current state of e-commerce in ASEAN countries. It highlights some
of the key domestic and cross-border challenges faced by ASEAN
member states in developing e-commerce. These challenges include
the regulatory and legal environment in which e-commerce firms
operate across ASEAN, and the supporting infrastructure in ASEAN
member states.
The Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific
Partnership (CPTPP) is a free trade agreement involving major
countries across the Asia Pacific region. The trade pact, which
entered into force on 30 December 2018, is considered by many to be
the 'gold standard', given its ambitious scope and depth. This
volume offers multi-dimensional insights into the CPTPP and its
impact on Southeast Asia. It begins with broad analyses covering
the historical, economic and geopolitical aspects of the CPTPP.
Subsequent chapters focus on the nature and implications of three
key path-breaking provisions in the trade agreement, namely
investor-state dispute settlement, intellectual property rights and
state-owned enterprises. The effect of the CPTPP on Southeast Asia
in terms of regional production networks is also examined from the
perspective of Japanese multinational enterprises. The potential
economic impact of the agreement is analysed for member countries
(Vietnam and Malaysia) as well as countries that aspire to join the
CPTPP in the future (Indonesia and Thailand).
