| Formed in 1989 as a forum for cooperation and trade, Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) has become one of the most important trade policy forums in the global economy. The publication includes a description of APEC's trade linkages with Asia, APEC process and structure, subregional arrangements and the Manila Action Plan. It reviews APEC's approach to economic and technical cooperation by examining the role of ASEAN in APEC, and revising the business dimension of APEC. A key conclusion of the study is the scope for non-APEC economies to benefit from APEC through active engagement. This would very much depend on the development of greater awareness and better understanding of APEC-related matters among business communities and policy makers in the non-APEC economies.
This publication contains papers presented at the Seminar on the Implications of the APEC Progress for Interregional Trade and Investment Flows in Asia and the Pacific, held at Bangkok, Thailand, from 17 to 19 September 1997. |
