| Summary / Abstract (Note) | THE SUMMIT of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation Forum (APEC) in Vladivostok promises to be the biggest international event in Russia in 2012.
This is no surprise. Today, the center of international political and economic life is shifting towards the Asia-Pacific region. APEC, the region's main economic forum, includes the world's most powerful economies: USA, China, Japan, and almost half of G-20 member countries, which account for the greater part of global production, including high technologies. The USA assigns great importance to this region in its global forecasts. The Asia-Pacific superpower China is playing a growing geopolitical role. |
