ASIAN REGIONALISM

  • Asian economies have grown not only richer, but also close together.

  • New technological trends have further strengthened ties among them, as have the rise of the China and India and the region’s growing weight in the global economy.

  • The 1997/1998 financial crisis dealt a severe setback too much of the region, highlighting Asia’s shared interests and common vulnerabilities and providing an impetus for regional cooperation.

  • In early stages of Asia’s economic takeoff, regional integration proceeded slowly. East Asian economies focused on exporting to developed country markets.

  • The Japanese economist Akamatsu (1962) famously compared this pattern of development to flying geese. In this model, economies moved in formation not because they were directly linked to each other, but because they followed similar paths.

  • Now, Asian economies are becoming closely intertwined.

  • Interdependence is deepening because Asia’s economies have grown large and prosperous enough to become important to each other, and because their patterns of production increasing depend on networks that span several Asian economies and involve wide ranging exchanges of parts and components among them.

FACTORS LEADING TO THE GREATER INTEGRATION OF THE ASIAN REGIONS

  • Regional integration is a process in which neighboring states enter into an agreement in order to upgrade cooperation through common institutions and rules.

  • The objectives of the agreement could range from economic to political, to environmental, although it has typically taken the rom of a political economy initiative.

  • It has been or organized either via supranational institutional structures or through intergovernmental decision- making, or combination of both.

  • Often focused on removing barriers to free trade in the region, increasing the free movement of people, labor, goods, and capital across national borders, reducing the possibility of regional armed conflict and adopting cohesive regional stance son policy issues, such as environmental, climate change and migration.

  • Intra- regional trade refers to trade which focuses on economic exchange primarily between countries of the same region or economic zone.

  • In recent years, countries within economic- trade regimes such as ASEAN in Southeast Asia for example have increased the level of trade and commodity exchange between themselves which reduces the inflation and tariff barriers associated with foreign markets resulting in growing prosperity.
