ASIAN

REGIONALISM
• In many Asian countries, the cycle of poverty has been
broken; in others, this historic aim is within sight.
Asia’s extraordinary success has brought new
challenges—while rapid economic growth remains a
priority, citizens demand that it also be sustainable and
more inclusive.
•And Asia is now so important to the
world economy that it must also play a
larger role in global economic
leadership.
• Regionalism is a relatively new aspect of Asia’s rise.
Asia’s economies are increasingly connected through
trade, financial transactions, direct investment,
technology, labor and tourist flows, and other economic
relationships.
