Competitive Regionalism Conference

When: 12.07.2007 - 12.08.2007
Location: Davidson Conference Center
The recent wave of free trade agreements (FTA) in Asia Pacific has generated a tremendous amount of attention. This conference offers an original interpretation of this FTA frenzy by focusing on the competition and rivalry as the central elements in the on-going process. The diverse panels will discuss how the pursuit of economic gains, the establishment of favorable trade and investment rules, and the competition towards regional leadership shape FTA policies of the United States, China, Japan, South Korea, ASEAN, Mexico and Chile.
