In: The Pacific review, Band 4, Heft 4, S. 322-332

Abstract

The emergence of the new process of Asian Pacific Economic Co-operation (APEC) since early 1989 has been a significant development for a vast region which accounts for just one half of the world economy. The paper describes the evolution of the APEC process, its basic principles and objectives, the challenges it faces and the role it might play in the 1990s and beyond. (DÜI-Sen)
