Abstract

1. It has been a fashionable view among observers of international affairs during the past two decades that the rich resource endowments, impressive economic growth and development ambitions of Asian-Pacific countries would bring about a radical transformation in the global balance of power with the establishment of the Pacific region as the focal point of the world economy. Visions of a ‘Pacific age’ or ‘Pacific century’ have been variously articulated by scholars and experts as well as by political and business leaders.1 Further-more, several attempts have been made to translate the somewhat vague aspiration to a ‘Pacific Community’ into a blueprint for collective and pragmatic action. In fact, the growing recognition of a substantial interest in developing regional Cooperation has originated a number of proposals intended to build a stronger relationship among Asian-Pacific countries and eventually to set up a framework for permanent inter-governmental Cooperation in economic, political and security matters.2
