| Summary / Abstract (Note) | With a focus on challenges and prospects of APT in East Asian regionalism, among the challenges, the establishment of strong regional and financial institutions such as APT and CMI is not being welcome by the U.S. and the major international financial institutions like IMF, World Bank, etc, so they may lobby to undermine it. There are also calculations that APT would probably be dominated by China. Such calculations by Japan, Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam, etc favorably affected the deeper regionalization process of APT, and at this framework, no one could balance with China in security and political terms. Such anxiety among its members is also another major obstacle in a deeper process of regionalization. On strategic fronts too, there are competitions among the members of APT. |
