| The publication examines the ASEAN Free Trade Area (AFTA) and its implications. It analyzes the investment flows in Southeast Asia and addresses the role of the private sector’s cooperation in complementing the efforts made by governments in trade and investment-related areas. It also reviews the subregional cooperation in Southeast Asia and the integration of Cambodia, the Lao PDR, Myanmar and Viet Nam in ASEAN as one step towards broader efforts to further integrate their economies into the world market. The expansion to the ASEAN-10, the implementation of growth areas and growth triangles, and the progress towards AFTA would enrich and multiply the concept, framework and scope for cooperation among ASEAN countries. The effectiveness of a regional response to global development challenges and opportunities requires more defined responses both by national governments and by ASEAN as a whole.
The publication contains papers and proceedings of the ESACP/ASEAN Joint Seminar on Enhancement of Trade and Investment Cooperation in Southeast Asia: Opportunities and Challenges Toward ASEAN-10 and Beyond, held in Jakarta, Indonesia, from 19 to 22 February 1997. |
