The decision to establish the ASEAN Free Trade Area (AFTA) was initially met with widespread enthusiasm. Some of this enthusiasm has since dissipated as all countries except Singapore have voiced concerns regarding the ability of sensitive industries to compete in the new protection-free environment. Underlying these concerns is the view that the evolving pattern of trade will be more complementary, or that inter-industry of net trade will dominate intra-industry trade. This study employs a new methodology to analyse the dynamics of trade in the ASEAN countries as they approach the deadline of AFTA, with a view to identify likely adjustment costs associated with liberalizing their trade.
"Raus aus der Grübelfalle" Verlieren Sie sich ab und zu in Ihren Gedanken? Hängen Sie vergangenen Erlebnissen nach? Spielen Sie im Kopf pessimistische "Was-wäre-wenn"-Szenarien durch? Brüten Sie eine gefühlte Ewigkeit über bestimmte Themen und kommen doch zu keinem Ergebnis?

For the longest time, however, intellectual exchange was thwarted by political tensions that led to large parts of Central and Eastern Europe being isolated from the West. A few literary theories nevertheless made i...
