Asia/Global Trade – Can Asia reinvent global trade? (East Asia Forum)

April 30, 2021

Let’s not believe our own propaganda. Asia reinventing global trade is a superficially attractive but problematic proposition. It assumes there once was a free international economy open to reinvention. It assumes there is an ‘Asia’ beyond the geographic sense and that what defines ‘Asia’ is a common attitude towards trade, somehow superior to the attitudes of other regions. It also assumes this ‘Asia’ can relieve the international trade regime from the pressures it has been subjected to. None of these assumptions are valid.
