Institutions for Asian Integration: Innovation and Reform
Published By: Social Sciences Research Network | Published Date: August, 21 , 2012The formation of regional production networks in East Asia has occurred mainly through market forces, without much help from regional institutions in promoting the creation of a single Asian market.
