区域经济一体化的理性选择——建立自由贸易区及其相关理论问题

The Rational Option of Regional Economic Integration:On Establishment of Free Trade Zone and the Related Theoretical Issues

经济全球化和区域经济一体化是当今世界经济发展的两个并存的重要趋势。区域经济一体化是指地域相邻近的两个以上国家,在国际分工不断深化和经济联系愈紧密的基础上,通过政府间谈判并以签署协定形式,相互采取比区域外国家更为开放、更为自由的贸易投资政策,并在体制框架和调节机制上结合成为经济合作组织或国家经济集团。其组织形态有南南型、北北型及北南型区域经济一体化。亚洲与其他地区相比,区域经济一体化的实际进展不大,真正称得上区域经济一体化的组织只有东南亚国家联盟。

Economic globalization and regional economic integration are the important trend in todays world economic development.Regional economic integration means that based on deepening of international division of labor and economic interaction,through intergovernmental negotiations and signing of treaty,two or more neighboring countries take a more open and freer trade investment policy,and forms an economic cooperation organization or state economic group.The types of such organization are south-south type,north-north type and north-south type regional economic integration.Compared with other regions,there is not much real development of regional integration in Asia,only ASEAN can be called the organization of regional integration.
