Features: Based on the actual situation in the Asia-Pacific region, the author of this book takes the European Union and the North American Free Trade Area as comparative objects and systematically studies the theory of international economic integration, proposing several important innovative viewpoints for economic cooperation in the Asia-Pacific region. The author believes that the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) is an innovative regional economic cooperation model, differing from traditional models that have a certain degree of closure and discrimination. The author not only theoretically elaborates on the innovativeness of APEC but also conducts empirical research. Through an in-depth study of the operational mechanisms of APEC, the author argues that the main focus of economic cooperation in the Asia-Pacific region should revolve around trade liberalization, investment and economic-technical cooperation, and financial cooperation. Additionally, the author explores the nature of APEC from the perspective of modern international law and examines the relationship between economic interests and the innovation of economic cooperation models in the Asia-Pacific region using the theory of new institutional economics. All these scientific research methods, which incorporate interdisciplinary and different theoretical perspectives, undoubtedly add to the richness of this book.
