Opis

An examination of the relationship between globalization and regionalism through a detailed analysis of the ASEAN Free Trade Area (AFTA) project. The book analyses how the interaction between globalization and domestic politics shaped the evolution of AFTA, arguing that although AFTA was triggered primarily by the pressures of globalization, it was a tussle between the imperatives of growth and domestic distribution that shaped the way economic cooperation unfolded and the forms it took.
