Synopsis and Subject Coverage

Asia and Europe have taken different economic integration paths. Asia has largely chosen loose economic cooperation based on free trade agreements. An exception is the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), which has created a common market that constitutes the third level of economic integration. Europe has already reached the highest level of economic integration through the European Union. However, Brexit has raised concerns about de-integration and the future of the EU.

The special issue will analyze the processes of economic integration and their impact on, and risks posed to, economic growth in Asia and Europe. The objective is to provide lessons learned in Europe and Asia, and recommend policies for the rest of the world.

Papers may deal with, but not be limited, to the following:

  • How Asia and Europe have differed in their approaches to economic integration, based on regionalism and regionalization
  • Economic integration in different Asian sub-regions
  • Creation and evolution of a monetary union
  • Fiscal union and a common government bond market
  • De-integration (e.g., Brexit) in the EU and the possibility of it happening in ASEAN
