520 Emerging East Asian economies have seen their share of
world exports more than triple during the past quarter-
century, and intraregional trade has driven this growth.
Broad measures of development in East Asia have improved
at the same headlong pace. Why push further integration
now? Two economic events of historic proportions provide
the context: strategic thinking of development in the
region following the East Asian financial crisis of 1997-
98 and the accession of China to the World Trade
Organization. Policymakers interested in a stable,
prosperous region are concerned by mildly rising
inequality within countries and a widening gap between
richer economies and the poorest economies. Increasingly,
the development agenda in the region - with its focus on
growth, jobs, and social stability - and the trade policy
agenda - with its focus on market access and
competitiveness - have become intertwined. East Asian
policymakers seek to develop a coherent set of economic
policies that can deliver stability, growth, and regional
integration. Without attempting to be comprehensive, East
Asia Integrates offers fundamental strategies that promote
cross-border flows of trade, along with domestic policies
on logistics, trade facilitation, standards and
institutions to maximize the impact of these flows on
development and distribute the gains from trade widely. As
the authors demonstrate, multilateral and regional trade
initiatives must provide a compelling vision of how
integration can deliver broadly shared growth and
prosperity if they are to succeed. In addition, they must
use the momentum offered by trade agreements to address
the links between trade on the one hand, and social
stability, poverty reduction, and growth on the other
