A Political Perspective on Economic Cooperation in the Asia-Pacific Region

Abstract

Two meanings of economic cooperation in the Asia-Pacific region and their relationship with politics. Economic cooperation in the Asia-Pacific region has two meanings from the perspective of widely understood and actually included content: one meaning is cooperation in a broad sense, that is, in trade, investment, technology, etc. Bilateral or multilateral cooperation in transfer and personnel exchange; another meaning is cooperation in a narrow sense, that is, cooperation in the entire Asia-Pacific region or sub-region similar to integration or as a form of community. Cooperation in the broad sense is the fact that it has actually been carried out and achieved results, while cooperation in the narrow sense is still in the stage of conception and prospect.
