Abstract

The impasse of the World Trade Organization (WTO) Doha Round has spurred the proliferation of trade and investment agreements, particularly in the Asia-Pacific region. The fast-growing Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) has been attracting the attention of governments and enterprises, increasing its importance to global value chains and the world economy. This book explores the theoretical concept of ASEAN law within the broadly defined discipline of international economic law. More specifically, it sheds light on the roadmap to the ASEAN Economic Community Blueprint 2025 by evaluating the impact of regional agreements on the business and commercial aspect of laws.
