The purpose of this book is to help build a consensus on the necessity and means to advance Northeast Asian economic cooperation by clarifying the ongoing debates and by suggesting perspectives for those debates.
This book is divided into two parts. The first part is devoted to the debates and viewpoints on Northeast Asian economic cooperation within the Northeast Asian countries themselves and within the U.S. In addition, the Tumen River Area Development Program (TRADP) is discussed separately.
Part two is an assessment of current economic cooperation in Northeast Asia. It discusses the progress made as well as the future prospects for sectoral cooperation, for instance, within trade, foreign investment, banking, transportation, communications and the environment.
