東亞區域經濟整合之發展及對我國之影響

The Development of Regional Economic Integration in East Asia and its Impacts for Taiwan

1990年代以來，世界各國簽署區域貿易協定蔚為一股風潮。在此潮流下，1992年東協國家倡議成立「東協自由貿易區」。亞洲金融危機後，東亞國家認為應更加強彼此的對話與合作，因此，「東協加三」、「東協加一」、「日本－－東協」、「韓國－－東協」和「東亞自由貿易區」等之倡議陸續出現，其中除「東亞自由貿易區」，皆把台灣排除在外，台灣可能面臨被邊緣化的危機。面對東亞區域經濟整合，我國應密切注意其可能的發展與影響及思考因應之道。

The world economy has been witnessing the surge in free trade agreement (FTA) since the early 1990s. For catching up the tide, ASEAN announced to establish ASEAN Free Trade Area (AFTA) in 1992, the only major FTA in the region. After the Financial Crisis, ASEAN evoked to strengthen the cooperation with other East Asian countries and started showing a strong interest in FTAs including ASEAN +3, ASEAN +1, Japan-ASEAN, Korea-ASEAN, and East Asian FTA. But Taiwan has no opportunities to participate in consultations, except East Asian FTA, and could be driven out of the integration and immersed in marginalization. In light of strong interest in FTAs by East Asian economies, Taiwan has to pay attention to the development of regional economic integration in East Asia and deploys the strategies.
