1930年代三種型態的亞洲經貿圈

Three Patterns of Asia’s Circles of Business and Trade in the 1930s

本文擬觀察三個面向不同類型的亞洲經貿圈，分別是：一、從歷史發展看亞洲廣域貿易圈，二、從對外經貿亞洲網絡看亞洲經貿圈，三、亞洲內在地域性商貿網絡。本文將說明，因1930年代集團經濟與世界經濟危機，亞洲地域整體的發展與特徵，無論生產資源、原料市場和產品市塲、人和資金的移動，正走向內向退縮、侷限一隅的地方性經貿活動。不論就國際經濟和國際政治而言，1930年代亞洲尚缺乏形成亞洲地域經濟整合的條件。

This paper seeks to discuss the thesis of three different patterns of Asia’s circles of business and trade: 1. the historical development of the circle of Asia’s macro business and trade, 2. Asia’s circle from the angle of foreign trade and business, and 3. the Asia’s inner regional circle of business and trade. Due to the world economic crisis and bloc economy in the 1930s, based on observation and investigation of these three theses of the patterns of circles of Asia’s business and trade, this paper finds that the regional economy in Asia, in terms of productive resources, material market, commodity market, and the movement of humans and capital, experienced the trends of inner backwardness and localization. The conditions necessary for Asian regional economic integration or the process of uninterrupted expanded cooperation in Asia, in terms of international economics and international politics, were not present in the 1930s.
