    Regional Integration for or Against Articles

    The ASEAN Pursues EU article provides one instance of a region in support of regional integration. “The European Union organized a group of nations with different currencies and languages - and profits followed” (Conde, 2007, para. 1). As per this article grouping currencies from various nations would assist regional integration, also assist the economic system of the region and build stronger relationships. The Association of Southeast Nations (ASEAN) desires to try the identical technique that the EU had earlier encouraged and integrate currencies in the areas. In the past former prime minister of Singapore Lee Kuan Yew had rejected this idea (Jazi, 2008). Instead, the prime minister believed that the country could achieve this objective but perhaps after 50-80 years. To start the process they would require writing a charter however the organization has opposed during the past because of the different financial systems in the region. This is currently in the starting phases however it has been stated that it will be a legally binding charter just like the one in the European Union, taking into consideration that any members who do not abide by this charts principles as well as procedures would need to incur on sanctions. To put it differently, ASEAN desires to turn…

    Progress towards the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) thus far has been rather slow with few tangible results, which may have helped explain a correspondingly slow adjustment by the business sector. Even the reduction in import duties to 0% in accordance with the ASEAN Free Trade Area (AFTA) took 17 years to materialize, while the liberalization in trade and services which started in 1996 is still behind schedule. In particular, the endeavor to allow up to 70% equity participation by ASEAN investors in 4 priority services sectors by 2010 has not met with much success as there remain member countries who ask for extension. Such type of delay can pose a risk for the businesses to adjust to major leap of changes should all the commitments have to be met within 2015 as targeted. As a result, the business sector should make a head start in making necessary adjustments. …because waiting until the full integration of AEC would result in business opportunity loss. The European Union (EU), despite its countries sharing borders and a supranational governing entity, still took 25 years to fully implement a free trade agreement that allows for trade to occur within the EU without customs. However, waiting for the full implementation of the AEC will be too long a wait, and the current progress has already allowed enough opportunities for businesses to utilize in order to expand into the ASEAN market, such as the 0% import tariffs and the free movement of labor in 7 professions which have previously been agreed upon, or the raise of the maximum equity participation allowed in services sectors which, whilst yet to reach the intended 70%, have created…

    Regional Economic Cooperation

    One of the most important developments in the world trade system in the 1990s has been the emergence of regional cooperation. The end of the Cold War reduced political tensions between countries in Asia as well as globalizing production processes and increasing vertical integration. Cities like Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur, and Singapore have been lifting their populations out of poverty in part through cooperative arrangements with neighboring countries. Transnational economic zones have utilized the different endowments of the various countries of East Asia, exploiting cooperative trade and development opportunities. Transfer of technology and manufacturing between nations has allowed them to develop sequentially. Information technology has improved linkages between economies and put remote regions in contact with the world. The private sector provides capital for investment; the public sector provides infrastructure, fiscal incentives, and the administrative framework to attract industry. Regional cooperation is now considered the means of enhancing economic development and providing economic security within the regions. Trade among ASEAN members accounted for more than 23% of all trade by member nations in 1994, topping that of any of the group's major trading partners.…

    The world today is at a turning point. The changes that we are undergoing are global in scope, revolutionary, fundamental and structural in content. As we have entered the 21st century a sense of optimism prevails for attaining peace and prosperity through effective role-play of regional as well as global organizations. Many view Asia as having a variety of characteristics in common with Europe of the nineteenth century: underdeveloped international institutions, mixed domestic orders, rising nationalism, high but differential growth rates, and bitter, emotional rivalries between insecure neighbours. The success of states in today’s world is not so much measured in terms of capacity for defending borders or creating uniquely national institutions, but in terms of ability to adapt to regional and global trends, promote exports, attract investments, and skilled labour, provide a beneficial environment for transnational companies, build attractive institutions of research and higher learning, wield political influence on the regional and global scene, and also brand the nation culturally in the international market-place.1 Consequently, regional associations are fast becoming an important and effective new scene for political and economic interaction in the world. In this new environment the importance of regional community and functional groupings has been heightened. Regional, political and religious…
