东亚大市场一体化的制约因素

THE RESTRAINING FACTORS FOR THE INTEGRATION OF THE GREAT EAST ASIAN MARKET

东亚地区作为21世纪初叶的世界第三大市场,将和欧盟市场、北美市场一起构成三足鼎立格局,但其一体化进程并不会一帆风顺.各种制约性因素显而易见,东亚各国经济发展水平失衡、运作模式存在严重缺陷、政治矛盾影响市场发育,历史积怨迟滞经贸合作,外界因素干扰整体进步,各自为政不利于走向世界.尽管如此,在经济合作利益原则的推动和规范下,这些制约性因素将会逐步克服,从而使东亚大市场一体化进程加快步伐.

In their article,the authors hold that East Asian countries are at quite unequivalent levels in their economic development and this was a result of the so-called'reasonable adjustment' imposed on these countries by the world capitalist market system after the conclusion of the WWII.With the assistance from the United States,Japan saw a rapid development first by importing new products and new technology from the developed countries,then by importing critical expertise and capitals.Finally,Japan established industries similar to that of the advanced countries and began to export similar goods.Import,import substitute and export,these three steps connected a 'goose pattern' and then became the so-called 'East Asian economic model.' The model,however,as the authors indicate,has serious defects which are reflected in two aspects:government interference and the export-oriented strategy of economic development.Besides,political difference among East Asian countries and the interference by the foreign force (the United States in particular) also have significant impact on the growth of East Asian market.
