Inequality and social problems in Hong Kong: The reasons for the broad support of the unrest
Many young people in Hong Kong, supported by a large number of middle-aged citizens, are fighting the government in order to preserve Hong Kong’s liberty and relative autonomy from Beijing. However, the question still is why people in Hong Kong are so rebellious, whilst people in comparable Asian societies are not. But differently: Why do Hong Kong citizens continue to fight the regime despite their quite unexpected victory, the withdrawal of the…
The Advance-and the Limits-of Trade Integration in Asia
After decades of preoccupation with traditional security issues, trade, finance and investment have become key areas of concern to policy makers in Asia, broadly defined to include South Asia, Southeast Asia and East Asia. Whereas in the past, governments in Asia applied a traditional understanding of security, today 'economic security' is part of a broadened concept of security that most countries in Asia apply (Pempel 2010a: 213). Of course, in…
The Multilateral Trading System and Preferential Trade Agreements: Can the Negative Effects Be Minimized
Preferential trade agreements pose a big challenge for the multilateral trading system. Throughout the first decade of the twenty-first century, their number has grown significantly. However, these agreements have a range of disadvantages compared with the multilateral regime, for example, in trade facilitation and in dispute settlement. Whereas it will be difficult to stop the further spreading of this wave of preferential agreements, attempts c…
Changing patterns of regional governance: From security to political economy
For decades, international relations in the Asia-Pacific were characterized by an emphasis on security affairs. Following the Asian financial crisis of 1997/98, this pattern has changed. In the early 21st century, policy makers in the region put emphasis on the deepening of economic relations. Both in trade and finance, new patterns of governance have emerged. The reasons are manifold. First, traditional security threats are not as important as t…
Asean and the emerging monetary regionalism: A case of limited contribution
Monetary regionalism – along with bilateral trade agreements – is receiving significant attention in Asia. This article analyzes its development since 2000 with specific reference to the role of ASEAN. It discusses the general rationale for monetary and financial cooperation, the Chiang Mai process, the rivalry between China and Japan, the potential exchange rate regime for the region including monitoring and surveillance, the evolution of region…
The Downside of Celebrity Diplomacy: The Neglected Complexity of Development
Celebrities have become important participants in the debate on the future of development. The Irish rock star Paul Hewson, better known as Bono, is not only the front man of the band U2 but has also become the champion of an antipoverty movement with worldwide impact. Bono is supported by US economist Jeffrey Sachs, who has become a global spokesperson for poverty reduction, especially in Africa. Surprisingly, the recipes being suggested by Bono…
The Decline of the IMF: Is It Reversible? Should It Be Reversed
The venue had been chosen thoughtfully. In a speech delivered in New Delhi, capital of an emerging Asian economic power, Mervyn King, governor of the Bank of England, called for a radical reform of the International Monetary Fund (IMF). In unusually stark terms, King cautioned against letting the IMF slip into obscurity. The institution needed to be modernized and its tasks reconsidered, he argued in February 2006. (1) Since then, several other c…
Exploring alternative theories of economic regionalism: From trade to finance in Asian co-operation
The financial crises of the late 1990s marked an intellectual watershed for the global economy, and also for regionalism as the Janus face of globalization. At the beginning of the twenty-first century, the theory and practice of regional cooperation and integration may evolve along different lines to how it was understood for most of the second half of the twentieth century. In East Asia, in particular, this will mean that the relationship betwe…
Four years after the Asian crisis began
Four years ago the Asian crisis began with the oating of Thailand’s currency on 2 July 1997. After a deep crisis in the second half of 1997 and in 1998, some economies recovered quite impressively. South Korea managed to grow at a spectacular rate of 10.7 per cent in 1999 and still substantial 7.5 per cent in 2000. Less dazzling is Malaysia’s recovery with 5.4 per cent growth in 1999 and 6.0 per cent in 2000. And Thailand’s respective growth rate…

Apec and the WTO: Collision or co‐operation
The creation of an integration scheme of the dimensions of the Asia‐Pacific Economic Co‐operation forum (APEC) is causing concern for the future of the world trading system. APEC will either turn into an economic bloc or it will become a forum of limited relevance. If APEC decided to form a classic free trade area and provided its trade concessions only on the basis of reciprocity, there would be little need for the World Trade Organization (WTO)…
Regional Integration in the Pacific Rim: The Future of Apec and the Potential for Conflict With the World Trade Organisation WTO
The second wave of regional co-operation and integration differs sharply from the first wave of integration projects. The latter were characterised by protectionist economic policies and were mainly pursued by developing countries. Integration projects in the 1990s involve mainly developed countries and among the most important of these is APEC. It is an exceptional case in terms of the relevance of the participating countries and with regard to …
