Concept/Digest:

Asian regionalism is the product of economic interaction, not political planning. As a result of successful,
outward oriented growth strategies, Asian economies have grown not only richer, but also closer together.
In recent years, new technological trends have further strengthened ties among them, as have the rise of
the PRC and India and the region’s growing weight in the global economy. But adversity also played a
role. The 1997/98 financial crisis dealt a severe setback to much of the region, highlighting Asia’s shared
interests and common vulnerabilities and providing an impetus for regional cooperation. The challenge
now facing Asia’s policy makers is simply put yet incredibly complex: Where markets have led, how should
governments follow? In the early stages of Asia’s economic takeoff, regional integration proceeded slowly.
East Asian economies, in particular, focused on exporting to developed country markets rather than selling
to each other. Initially, they specialized in simple, labor-intensive manufactures. As the more advanced
among them graduated to more sophisticated products, less developed economies filled the gap that they
left behind. The Japanese economist Akamatsu (1962) famously compared this pattern of development to
flying geese. In this model, economies moved in formation not because they were directly linked to each
other, but because they followed similar paths. Since these development paths hinged on sequential—and
sometimes competing—ties to markets outside the region, they did not initially yield strong economic links
within Asia itself. Now, though, Asian economies are becoming closely intertwined. This is not because the
region’s development strategy has changed; it remains predominantly nondiscriminatory and outward-
oriented. Rather, interdependence is deepening because Asia’s economies have grown large and
prosperous enough to become important to each other, and because their patterns of production
increasingly depend on networks that span several Asian economies and involve wide ranging exchanges
of parts and components among them. Asia is at the center of the development of such production
networks because it has efficient transport and communication links, as well as policies geared to
supporting trade. As these new production patterns tie Asian economies closer together, they also boost
the international competitiveness of the region’s firms.
