英文摘要 |
ASEAN as a whole has helped bring about many of APEC's successes, including the APEC secretariat in Singapore, the Bogor Declaration, and the Manila Action Plan for APEC. This paper attempts to explain the reasons why ASEAN countries participate in APEC and to analyze the role ASEAN has played in APEC since the councils' formation. The main argument is that global economics, regional interaction, and domestic politics have all affected ASEAN's role in APEC. |
