| The seventh issue of the Asia-Pacific Trade and Investment Review begins with a special brief on termites in the trade system, followed by five research articles. The articles cover the following topics: the rise of China: what does it mean for the least developed countries in the Asia-Pacific?; who will be the main global IT services hub: India or China?; economic impact of East and South-East Asian free trade agreements; performance of export-oriented small and medium-sized manufacturing enterprises in Viet Nam; and policy options for establishing effective subnational innovation systems and technological capacity-building. This issue also contains a section of staff papers on Asian-African trade and investment cooperation, and issues in the long-term development of sovereign wealth funds. The last section is the overviews of recent studies published by the secretariat on: unveiling protectionism: regional responses to remaining barriers in the textile and clothing trade; trade facilitation beyond the multilateral trade negotiations: regional practices, Customs valuation and other emerging issues – a study by the Asia-Pacific Research and Training Network on Trade; and towards coherent policy frameworks: understanding trade and investment linkages. |
