Trade as an engine of growth has played a catalyst role in East Asian development; through vigorous study of performances in past decades, East Asian trade and industrialization experiences may offer some lessons for other developing countries. This book covers trade and industrial structures for ten countries and regions including Japan, China, Hong Kong, Korea, Singapore, Taiwan, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines and Thailand. -- The author addresses the comparative advantages and trade similarity indices of Asian economies from regional and global perspectives. He also analyzes the impacts of regional trade agreements from both member and non-member countries' perspectives. After a vigorous examination of the sources of export growth by the methodology of the constant market share analysis, the book examines the trade–investment nexus, the development of fragmentation of manufacturing production, and trade in parts and components as the dominant trade flows after the mid-1980s. It then studies the trade complementarity index among countries to further pursue the analysis of natural trading partners, and looks at the Krugman–Baldwin hub–spoke thesis by empirically identifying the 'degree of hub-ness' in three major markets in China, Japan, and the USA. Various scenarios of economic integration in East Asia are assessed and an open regionalism is proposed for East Asian economic integration and sustainable development in the conclusion of the book.

Containing collective wisdom from prominent scholars in various fields in Asian studies, this book covers the legal, economic, sociopolitical, and international aspects of economic integration. Chow examines the impact of the contending forces of national identity and economic interests following the integration of the economies of Taiwan and China and as a trading bloc is emerging across the Taiwan Strait. It analyzes how the formation of the Great China Economic Zone will affect Taiwan's rising national identity, the cross-strait and the triangular relations among the U.S., China, and Taiwan, as well as the resultant regional stability in East Asia.
