Publisher's Synopsis
Many countries in the Asia-Pacific region have the fastest growing economies in the world - and many people regard the emerging economies of the Asia-Pacific as models for development elsewhere. Among the questions posed in this report are: Why are these economies, unlike other developing countries, growing successfully? Will the regional security situation imperil further growth? Will the economic success of the Asia-Pacific force North America and Europe to become more protectionist, or will they adjust to Asian competition? How may the countries of the Asia-Pacific organize themselves in response to the potential evolution of trading blocs in North America and Europe?
