본문내용

In recent years, a striking feature of international trade relations is the growth of regionalism due to the widening and deepening of regional trade agreements, and FTA (Free Trade Agreement) becomes a new buzzword all over the world these days. According to the WTO, there are 250 RTAs have been notified to the GATT/WTO up to December 2002, and the number of FTA has been reached to more than 150 . It is no exaggeration to say that the world economy is facing an FTA era.
However, Northeast Asia, one of the major regions in world trade arena has not actively joined in this global trend of integration based on regional proximity until very recently. The increasing globalization and integration of world markets are generating pressure on Asian economies, as more and more regions leave behind their inward-looking policies and look outward for sustainable development and growth. Japan has concluded its first bilateral FTA in 2000 with Singapore, and it finalized discussions on an FTA with Mexico. Currently, it is trying to negotiate individual bilateral agreement with Malaysia, Thailand and the Philippines by 2005, as well as a separate FTA with ASEAN as a whole. Meanwhile, China has also started to pursue regional strategies by using FTAs: It signed a framework agreement with ASEAN in 2002, and concluded negotiations in 2004.
