Abstract

This chapter presents eight case study analyses on some of most important free trade agreement (FTA) projects to have emerged within the Asia-Pacific in recent years. They have been selected as a representative sample of FTAs that have thus far emerged across the region as a whole. The FTA projects chosen are as follows: Australia-US FTA (AUSFTA) ASEAN-China FTA (ACFTA) China’s Closer Economic Partnership Agreements (CEPAs) with Hong Kong and Macao (HKCCEPA, MCCEPA) Thailand-Australia FTA (TAFTA) Japan-Mexico FTA (JMFTA) South Korea-Chile FTA (KCFTA) US-Singapore FTA (USSFTA) Trans-Pacific Strategic Economic Partnership Agreement (TPSEPA) These individual FTA case study analyses offer their own special perspectives on the political economic interactions between different sets of Asia-Pacific countries, and thereby insights into the heterogeneous nature of FTAs in the region.
