"The contributors to this volume look forward to the future of the region and its institutions after the catastrophe of the Asian economic crisis by looking back at the processes of institutional change manifested by each of the Asia Pacific's main regional organizations: the Asian Development Bank (ABD), the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC), and the ASEAN Regional Forum (ARF). The conclusions offered by the contributors are important to thinking about the future shape of the regional order in the Asia Pacific."--BOOK JACKET.
