本章的目的是描述和分析在全球经济舞台不断重新两极分化的情况下，欧盟和东南亚国家联盟(东盟)加强区域间贸易关系的雄心。这一努力应该从欧盟试图保持其在国际贸易中的地位的角度来看待。东亚在全球经济中的快速增长使其以前的强大作用受到了挑战，特别是在世界贸易组织(WTO)及其多哈发展议程(DDA)内的多边谈判进展非常缓慢的时候，世界面临着自1930年代初以来最严重的经济衰退，这是由2008-2009年的经济和金融危机造成的。多边一级的有限进展促成了1990年代开始的FTA趋势。双边和区域自由贸易协定(双边贸易协定和区域贸易协定)的数量在过去二十年中迅速增加。截至2011年年中，约有300项贸易协定生效。1此类协定是否应被视为纯粹对进一步实现国际贸易自由化的努力不利的问题，或者

Its previously strong role has been challenged by the rapid growth of East Asia in the global economy, particularly at a time when the multilateral negotiations within the World Trade Organization (WTO) and its Doha Development Agenda (DDA) have shown very poor progress, and the world has faced the deepest economic downturn since the early 1930s, caused by the economic and financial crisis in 2008–2009.This limited progress at the multilateral level has contributed to the FTA trend that took off in the 1990s. The number of bilateral and regional FTAs (BTAs and RTAs) has increased rapidly during the last two decades. As of mid-2011, around 300 trade agreements were in force. 1 The issue whether such agreements should be seen as purely negative to the attempts to further liberalize international trade, or
