What are the causes of the recent surge of the “third wave” FTAs in the Asia-Pacific region? What do individual countries try to achieve from their respective FTAs? This book explores these questions through economic theories, historical and institutional analysis of the international trading system and the frameworks of the international political economy, as well as detailed case studies on eight countries in the region. As whether FTAs promote multilateral liberalization remains ambiguous and conditional, the concept of “FTA multilateralization” and its practicability are also examined.
