This pioneering study uses new evidence from surveys of East Asian exporters – including Japan, the People’s Republic of China, the Republic of Korea and three ASEAN economies of the Philippines, Singapore and Thailand – to shed light on the FTA debate. -- Critics are concerned that FTAs erode the multilateral trading process and foster an alarming ‘noodle bowl’ of overlapping regulations and rules of origin requirements – which may be costly to business. Asia’s Free Trade Agreements makes key recommendations for improving business use of FTA preferences, reducing costs of FTAs and creating a region-wide FTA.PPN: PPN: 1023440636Package identifier: Produktsigel: ZDB-1-EWE
