APEC and the Construction of Pacific Rim Regionalism Hardback
by John Ravenhill
Part of the Cambridge Asia-Pacific Studies series
Hardback
Description
The Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) grouping is the first comprehensive economic arrangement to link countries from around the Pacific Rim.
Since its establishment in 1989, APEC has graduated from a ministerial-level gathering of nine countries to an institution that stages annual summits, has a permanent secretariat, and whose twenty one members have committed themselves to establishing free trade in the region.
A decade after its foundation, however, members have been increasingly frustrated with the grouping's progress.
In this timely book, John Ravenhill examines the reasons for APEC's establishment, its evolution, and the causes of its failures.
His conclusions address central questions in international relations about international collaboration and regionalism.
The book will interest all those concerned with broader questions about regional economic and political cooperation.
