Perth, WA, Australia
The conference aims to bring together worldwide academics,
researchers & policy-makers to discuss ongoing research on FTAs and
Regional Integration in East Asia. All accepted papers will be published by
Springer in its Series in Business & Economics.
With the recent financial and economic crisis, globalization
and regional economic integration has become again the focus of intense global
interest and debate. Led by the rapidly growing Chinese economy, the East Asian
region is forging closer economic ties than ever before, and remains the most
dynamic region in the world. It is believed that open regionalism can
contribute substantially to enhanced productivity and economic growth, and to
poverty reduction, within the region. The emerging trilateral Free Trade
Agreement (FTA) negotiation between China, Japan and South Korea provides new
evidence of ongoing Asian economic integration. Given the economic size of the
three countries and their respective shares in the global trade system, the
social, economic, environmental and cultural implications of such an economic
integration in the East Asian region would have an enormous impact world-wide.
