Abstract

In the years since this article was written, Asia and the Pacific Basin have undergone significant economic upheaval and slowed growth. Yet the regional economic integration efforts described in this article have continued and have worked (sometimes at a modest pace) to further regional economic integration. This article therefore continues to offer a useful conceptual discussion of these organizations and their radically different nature from more traditional regional trade organizations — as well as an historical record of innovative regionalism efforts in the Asia-Pacific region.

Keywords: regional organizations, integration, international trade, WTO, World Trade Organization, free trade area, customs union, APEC, PECC, Asia Pacific
