Title:
ASEAN AND EAST ASIAN ECONOMIC INTEGRAT10N:
ASEAN's Political Economic Position in the Establishment of an ASEAN-China FTA,an ASEAN-Korea FTA and an ASEAN-Japan FTA
The three ASEAN+1 FTAs(an ASEAN-China FTA, an ASEAN-Korea FTA and an ASEAN-JapanFTA) that have been concluded in 2007 adopt different memberships,scopes and rules of orgin.
Despite many believes that ASEAN is the driver of regionalism processes in East Asia, different characteristics of ASEAN+1 FTAs merely reflect the opposite.
It does not only mean that ASEAN did not consistently conclude FTAs with its Northeast Asian counterparts, but also that ASEAN could not drive the FTA establishment processes and could not play as an FTA hub.
Instead,it is an indicator that ASEAN disposed to follow its counterparts in deciding the characteristics of FTAs they established.
This problem raises a question: What political economic position did ASEAN have in the establishment of an ASEAN-China FTA,an ASEAN-Korea FTA and an ASEAN-Japan FTA?
This question will indirectly answers what role ASEAN actually plays in the economic regionalism processes in Asia.
