- Abstract
- While aggressively embracing free trade agreements (FTAs) in general,
East Asian countries have incorporated security and political factors in promoting
FTAs under the swiftly shifting regional economic and security environments,
epitomized by the end of the Cold War, the Asian financial crisis, and the intensifying
Sino-Japanese rivalry. Therefore, a sole focus on economic factors
would fail to shed light on East Asian strategies for linking FTAs and security.
While FTAs have mushroomed in East Asia since 2000, East Asian countries
have pursued FTAs not merely to increase their economic interests. In many
cases, they have attempted to link FTAs to broader security considerations.
However, they have demonstrated markedly diverse ways of linking FTAs and
security, depending on their primary economic and security imperatives as well
as their domestic political situations.
