Economic integration is essentially a process of unification, the means whereby coherence is imposed upon previously separate, even disparate, geographical regions. According to the authors, cultural and linguistic affinities have no doubt helped to facilitate the economic integration of China, Hong Kong and Taiwan. But international trade and foreign investment have been its most potent stimuli. They discuss and analyse various aspects of economic integration between China, Hong Kong and Taiwan. (DÜI-Sen)

This book seeks to explain why governments contemplate regional monetary integration and why some country groups are more likely than others to exercise that option. It also explains why some country groups may be more successful than others, and the limited relevance of the European experience for those other country groups. The book is not written for professional economists, though it synthesizes a large body of economic literature. It is written for a wider audience, including policy makers and students of international relations.
