摘要 太平洋島嶼的區域經濟整合：機會與考驗
The PICs have placed regional integration as the priority dimension to sustain and promote economic growth and prosperity in the region. Presently, these island nations buckle under the lengthy and complicated negotiation process for FTAs within the region and with the outside world. This paper examines the opportunities and challenges posed by the current FTAs under negotiation and/or under implementation. The analysis undertaken in this research indicates that due to low economic interdependence and high risk of political instability among the leading economies of the region, any regional FTA will only bring marginal benefit to the region, most of which will be enjoyed by few leading players. However, the region has the greatest potential to gain by integrating into the global economy. The current pace of liberalization and globalization suggests that delaying any FTA with the developed partners will only add on to the opportunity cost as well as adjustment costs in the long-run. Hence, the leading economies need to take the first step in negotiating bilateral or multilateral FTAs with ANZ as well as their close trading partners from the Asia.
