International Trade in East Asia

The practice of trading across international borders has undergone a series of changes with great consequences for the world trading community, the result of new trade agreements, a number of financial crises, the emergence of the World Trade Organization, and countless other less obvious developments. In "International Trade in East Asia," a group of esteemed contributors provides a summary of empirical factors of international trade specifically as they pertain to East Asian countries such as China, Japan, Korea, and Taiwan. Comprised of twelve fascinating studies, "International Trade in East Asia" highlights many of the trading practices between countries within the region as well as outside of it. While many praise the region's sophisticated production and distribution networks, the contributors here bring into focus some of the region's internal and external barriers to international trade and discuss strategies for improving productivity and fostering trade relationships. Studies on some of the factors that drive exports, the influence of research and development, the effects of foreign investment, the World Trade Organization's new dispute settlement system, and the ramifications of different types of protectionism will particularly resonate with the financial and economic communities that are trying to keep pace with this dramatically altered landscape.
