Regional Integration and Development Policy : A Comparative Study of Asia and Americas

为了进行更深入的分析，集中研究了以下三个领域：(A)东亚和拉丁美洲区域一体化计划的比较评价；(B)各国对一体化和发展战略的观点的比较(包括区域进程对经济发展的影响)；在这项研究的基础上，得出了以下相关结论：--两个区域的体制深化和体制形成过程本质上是不同的，可能会影响到每个国家的多边(全球)进程和发展进程；--两地经济一体化本质不同，主要动力明显不同，既要考虑一体化的制度框架，也要考虑国家间结构转型、产业集群形成、全球化影响不同等的联动效应。

In order to make deeper analysis, focused research has been intensively made regarding the following three areas : (a) comparative evaluation of regional integration schemes in East Asia and Latin America ; (b) comparison of national perspectives on integration and development strategies (including impact of regional process on economic development) ; and (c) possibilities of interaction and cooperation between East Asia and Latin America taking into account different pattern of dynamism of the two regions.On the basis of this research, the following relevant conclusions have been attained :-the process of institutional deepening and regime formation in the two regions is so essentially different that it could affect both multilateral (global) process and development process of each country ;-the nature of economic integration in the two regions is substantially different and major driving forces of dynamism are distinctly different.Therefore it is necessary to take into account not only the institutional framework of integration, but also linkage effects of structural transformation among countries, formation of industrial clusters, different impacts of globalization, etc.
