The first East Asia Summit in 2005 prompted discussions of
enlargement of ASEAN free trade agreements to include all major
trading blocs and their regional and global implications. In this
timely and original study, Tran Van Hoa and Charles Harvie explore
the likely effects of new regional development. With more than half
of the world's consumption and production market, well-defined
trade agreements in Asia remain crucial to the economic growth and
stability of the area. This book contains scholarly and
well-researched contributions from internationally renowned experts
from ASEAN, East and South Asia and Oceania who discuss this major
new development and its impact on trade, investment, services,
development, industry, poverty and economic relations. An important
collection of new research, this volume will be used by economists,
trade experts, academics, students, government advisers,
policymakers and all those interested in these significant
contemporary developments and their far-ranging implications in an
enlarged Asia.
In this book, Tran Van Hoa reveals how competition policy and
competitiveness are essential for contemporary economic, financial
and trade management as well as national and international
governance. Containing new in-depth studies of these issues and
their development, the book focuses on major Asian economies

of the WTO. In major Asian economies, competition policy, while
being important for trade, development and growth, is nascent.

Economies surveys the fundamentals of competition policy and
investigates how, in practice, it has been developed in major

future developments. Suggesting solutions in economic development
and policy reform for Asian economies in the face of increasing
globalisation and WTO membership requirements, this important book
will be of enormous interest to economic policymakers and advisers,
academics, government officials, business executives and tertiary
students.

The Asian crisis that started in July 1997 wrought untold damages
on a large number of countries worldwide and brought intolerable
hardships and poverty to millions of people in Asia, and to a
lesser extent in Russia and Latin America as well as the European
Union. After more than three years of widespread economic, social
and financial turmoil, there were signs in mid 2000 that a slow but
promising economic recovery was on the way in Asia. This book
explores in-depth the major issues and important aspects of this
economic recovery and its potential impact on growth, development,
trade and investment. Expert contributors also discuss the global
directions in international economic and financial relations,

managed in the 21st century. The Asian crisis, and its subsequent

challenging and important crises of our times. The Asia Recovery is
a timely and valuable contribution that will be essential for those
in government, business and academia to understand this crisis more
fully.
