Regional Trade Agreements in Asia

Edited by Tran Van Hoa, Research Professor, Centre for Strategic Economic Studies, Victoria University, Melbourne, Australia and Charles Harvie, Associate Professor and Director, Centre for Small Business and Regional Research, University of Wollongong, Australia

Tran Van Hoa and Charles Harvie present this original study of the likely effects of new regional development. The first East Asia Summit in 2005 prompted discussions of enlargement of ASEAN free trade agreements to include all major trading blocs and their likely regional and global implications. The contributors to this book, internationally renowned experts from ASEAN, East Asia, India and Oceania, analyse the probable impacts of this expansion on trade, investment, development, poverty and economic growth and integration.
