This research guide provides basic information about the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC), the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), and their member economies. The first section of the guide includes online resources about the two organizations and a selected bibliography for further research on the history and future trends of the economic cooperation in the Asia-Pacific region. The second section provides online information and bibliographies on trade and investment in individual member economies.
This research guide was adapted from the author's presentation at the American Association of Law Libraries (AALL) 97th Annual Conference in Boston, July 2004.
Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC)
APEC was established in 1989. The objectives of APEC are to eliminate trade and investment barriers in the Asia-Pacific region. Currently, APEC consists of 21 member economies: Australia, Brunei Darussalam, Canada, Chile, China, Chinese Taipei, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, Peru, Philippines, Russia, Singapore, Thailand, United States, and Vietnam. APEC maintains a Secretariat in Singapore funded by annual contributions from the member economies.
APEC operates on "the basis of non-binding commitments, open dialogue and equal respect for the views of all participating economies."[[i]] Unlike other regional economic organizations, APEC does not have a binding treaty that sets forth an institutional framework for economic integration. However, the influence of APEC on the Asia-Pacific region and world economy should not be underestimated. APEC member economies, which cover 2.6 billion people or 30% of the world population, account for approximately 60% of the world Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and nearly 72% of world economic growth. [[ii]] APEC has greatly contributed to the liberalization of world trade and investment. The frequent meetings of the leaders of its members and the exchange of trade information within APEC have facilitated mutual understandings between the least developed nations and the developed nations. [[iii]] Since the September 11th attacks, APEC members have also actively participated in the anti-terrorism efforts. [[iv]]
The Associations of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN)
ASEAN was established in 1967 by five nations: Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, and Thailand. In the 1980's and 1990's, five other nations joined ASEAN: Brunei Darussalam, Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar (Burma), and Vietnam. Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, Brunei Darussalam and Vietnam are also members of APEC. The goals of ASEAN are to accelerate the regional economic growth, facilitate social and culture development, and pursue regional peace, stability and rule of law.[[v]]
ASEAN is a treaty based organization.[[vi]] Compared with APEC, ASEAN is a much smaller and weaker entity.[[vii]] However, in recent years, ASEAN played an important role in advocating the interests of the least developed nations in Southeast Asia, especially after the failure of the round trade talks in the World Trade Organization (WTO) in Seattle. By establishing external relations with the developed economies and other regional trade organizations, ASEAN has been active in promoting interregional dialogue and cooperation. [[viii]]
