The Asian Economy with one common Asian Money will be a frontier topic for a study in supranational macroeconomics. If the Europeanization of Europe has become a historic reality, the Asianization of Asia cannot be far behind. The paradigm of the European Union (EU) has become a learning model for other continents, especially Asia. In Asia, the process was initiated following the Asian financial crisis of 1997-98, when several newly industrialized Asian economies suffered negative rates of growth of gross domestic product (GDP). The three (Japan, China, and Korea) plus five (Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, and the Philippines) came together to became the core members of a new regional group. Their annual meetings became an institutional feature of Asian economic cooperation and regional economic integration. In 2003, the group expanded to become the four (Japan, China, Korea, and India) plus 10 model (the original five plus Myanmar, Cambodia, Laos, Brunei Darussalam, and Viet Nam). Be it noted that the Western Asian countries from Turkey to Afghanistan have never been included in studies of Asian economies and the present study shall follow the same format. However, several South Asian countries in the Indian sub-continent and Mongolia in Central Asia will be included in the proposed study (see Chapters 2, 3, and 6). The 4 plus 10 model has recently made two important commitments. First, at a recent annual summit, their preference for an Asian Free Trade Area (FTA), based on the model of the European Union FTA, has been noted. Second, in 2006, the leaders of China, Japan, and Korea made a public announcement for the need for a common Asian Money. Differences between the traditional FTAs and the EU-FTA will be reviewed. The EU is one integrated economy with total free flow of trade within the EU and a common trade policy vis-à-vis the rest of the world. The EU is one member in the World Trade Organization (WTO), with one vote. I shall discuss three specific reasons for the oneness of the future Asian Economic Union (AEU): First, the Asian Economy, based on the four plus ten model, will have to its credit competitive shares of world output and trade. A comparative data base will be compiled and presented with tabular and graphic expositions. Competition amongst the three regional economic entities, the EU, the USA, and the AEU, will optimize the level of competition in the world market. Competition will contribute to quality and cost competitive products, goods, and services, which will maximize the economic gains of all the microeconomic actors, households as well as businesses, in all the continents. The theory of supra-national macroeconomics (Dutta 2007) will be examined in the context of the continent of Asia. The economic integration of Europe has followed the process of the continent's political integration. Will the AEU be able to learn from this model? Second, the 3-billion plus people of the Asian Economy will constitute a viable market with minimum cost of transportation. The Industrial Revolution of China and India's great high-tech industrial leap forward have added much to the economic dimensions of Asia. Asia's newly industrialized and industrializing economies plus Japan, a mature industrialized economy, have much to gain from trade with each other. They also have surplus funds for investment in the neighboring Asian economies where relatively low wage labor, unskilled, skilled, and professional, continues to be available, and where the endowment of natural resources remain to be explored. Free movement of labor remains an issue of concern. The issues of illegal immigrants have become a pressing issue in several of these economies. To ensure a free flow of trade and investment, and movement of labor, as in the EU, there is a critical need for an intra-Asian macroeconomic policy, specified by well-defined monetary and fiscal guidelines. Third, the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC), instituted in 1989 to match the EU's competitive strength, has delivered little (Dutta 1999 and 2007). The twenty-one members of APEC spread out on the two shores of the Pacific have failed to be an effective framework of regional free trade area and economic cooperation. I have argued as the Atlantic has divided Europe from the Americas, so does the Pacific divide Asia from the Americas.

This book analyzes the Asian financial crisis of 1997-1999. In addition to the issues of financial system restructuring, export-led recovery, crony capitalism, and competitiveness in Asian manufacturing, it examines six key Asian economies--China, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, and Thailand. The book makes clear that there is little particularly Asian about the Asian financial crisis. The generic character of the crisis became clear during 1998, when it reached Russia, South Africa, and Brazil. The spread of the crisis reflects the rapid arrival of global capitalism in a world economy not used to the integration of the advanced and developing countries. The book makes recommendations for reform, including the formation of regional monetary bodies, the establishment of an international bankruptcy system, the democratization of international organizations, the infusion of public money to revive the financial and corporate sectors in Pacific Asia, and stronger supervision over financial institutions. The book emphasizes a mismatch in Pacific Asia between investment in physical hardware (e.g., factories and machinery) and in social software (e.g., scientific research centers and administrative and judiciary systems). In a world of growing international competitiveness, concerns over governance will weigh increasingly heavily on unreformed Asian countries. The long-term competitiveness of Asia rests on its getting its institutions right.

Modern Asian economic history has often been written in terms of Western impact and Asia's response to it. This volume argues that the growth of intra-regional trade, migration, and capital and money flows was a crucial factor that determined the course of East Asian economic development. Twelve chapters are organized around three main themes. First, economic interactions between Japan and China were important in shaping the pattern of regional industrialization. Neither Japan nor China imported technology and organizations, and attempted to "catch up" with the West alone. Japan's industrialization took place, taking advantage of the Chinese merchant networks in Asia, while the Chinese competition was a critical factor in the Japanese technological and organizational "upgrading" in the interwar period. Second, the pattern of China's integration into the international economy was shaped by the growth of intra-Asian trade, migration, and capital flows and remittances. While the Western impact was largely confined to the littoral region of China, intra-Asian trade was more directly connected with China's internal market. Both the fall of the imperial monetary system and the rise of economic nationalism in the early twentieth century reflected increasing contacts with the Asian international economy. Third, a study of intra-Asian trade and migration helps us understand the nature of colonialism and the international climate of imperialism. In spite of the adverse political environment, East Asian merchant and migration networks exploited economic opportunities, taking advantage of colonial institutional arrangements and even political conflicts. They made a contribution to national and regional economic development in the politically more favourable environment after the Second World War, by providing the valuable expertise and entrepreneurship they had accumulated prewar. The character of the international order of Asia, governed by Western powers, especially Britain, but shared also by Japan for most of the period, was "imperialism of free trade", although it eventually collapsed by the late 1930s.

Money places an explicit value on all things and this work by Robert S. Wicks explores the impact of monetization in premodern Southeast Asia from the third century BC to the rise of Maleka in the early fifteenth century. Ideas about money developed unevenly throughout the region and the author, in seven case studies written in a highly narrative style, explores why this was so. He considers trade policies, price controls, exchange ratios, monopolies, variant standards of value, and the administrative complexity necessary for such economic complexity. Reproduced data, maps, tables, and figures display the intertwining of anthropology, archeology, history, culture, and economics. -- Amazon.com.

This book is about power in a changing world economy. Though power is ubiquitous in the study of International Political Economy, the concept is underdeveloped in formal theoretical terms. This collection of essays analyses recent experience in East Asia to advance our theoretic understanding of state power in IPE. Over the last quarter century, no other region of the world has had a greater impact on the global distribution of economic resources and capabilities. China, with its "peaceful rise," now stands as the second largest national economy on the face of the earth; South Korea and Taiwan have become industrial powerhouses; Hong Kong and Singapore are among the world’s most important financial centres; and new poles of growth have emerged in several southeast Asian countries – all while Japan, long the region’s dominant market, has slipped into seemingly irreversible decline. The volume’s nine essays, contributed by leading scholars in the United States, Britain and Taiwan, aim to extract relevant inferences and insights from these developments for the study of state power. All are framed by a core agenda encompassing four key clusters of questions concerning the meaning, sources, uses, and limits of power. These essays ask: What new lessons are offered for power analysis in International Political Economy?
