The consequences of the APEC summit held on November 17–18, 2018 are analyzed. It is emphasized that the summit ended with little or no result due to the growing trade and economic contradictions between theUnited StatesandChina, which have the potential to significantly weaken trade and economic ties in the Asia-Pacific region. Under these conditions, after theUSwithdrawal from the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TTP),Japanis increasingly taking the path of bilateral and regional agreements with the countries of the Asia-Pacific Region, including the People's Republic ofChina.Japanconsistently pursues this policy in the framework of the strategy of the Free and Open Indo-Pacific Region proclaimed in 2016. This strategy will allowJapanto insure itself against the possible eventual occurrence of the American-Japanese trade war, taking into account the fact thatJapanhas a growing positive balance in trade with theUnited States.Japanhas all high hopes on the establishment of a Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership with the participation of 16 countries. At the same time, the APR is increasingly becoming a zone of military rivalry between the states of this region, which is an additional factor complicating the ongoing development of Japan’s trade and economic ties with many APR countries.

Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership

Since the Asia-Pacific region became a world developed region, the issues of its future and the future of the global system have become closely related. The development of the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership project appears to be an effort to lead the integration processes in the APAC. The article examines the slow flow of the initiative from ASEAN to China, the collision of the interests of the United States and China. The author describes the process of transformation of a partially hegemonic order and the formation of a multipolar relations system regional version.

Opening Up

As the first large-scale free trade arrangement in the Asia-Pacific region, the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) will play an important role in economic and trade cooperation, and regional governance in the region. Since the signing on 15 November 2020, RCEP has encountered internal and external risks and challenges. Effectively avoiding risks and coping with challenges are important for RCEP to play its due role. To China, RCEP presents a new opportunity and platform to expand its opening up.

The Cold War

After the Cold War, international politics and economy of the Asia-Pacific region has changed tremendously. Regional economic integration accelerates up with the rapid increase of bilateral and multilateral free trade agreements between regional countries, whereas regional security is continually confronted with conflict flashpoints, including regional maritime sovereignty disputes. This article provides the recent development ofregional economy and security with emphasis on maritime disputes in East China Sea and South China Sea and Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) and Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) and discusses the possible challenges to Taiwan in these issues.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to calculate regional contents in the exports of the major regional blocs to the world, Trans-Pacific Strategic Economic Partnership (TPP), and Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP), respectively, to find the backward trade linkages between them instead of normal forward linkages. Design/methodology/approach To calculate “a region” content in intermediate and value-added exports, this paper uses OECD’s inter-country input-output table (ICIOT), and tries to decompose the contents of trade. Using the information of ICIOT, Koopman et al. (2014) and Wang et al. (2013) decompose gross exports of a country’s exports. Findings TPP is a loosely tied bloc featured by openness to the Asia-Pacific region. Trade linkages between members are stronger in RCEP than those in TPP, particularly in the trade of intermediate goods. Trades in RCEP are closely connected to exports to TPP, but the opposite direction is not clear. Research limitations/implications First of all, the recent base year of the data on value added in trade is 2011, which can be regarded as a little bit out of date. Therefore, it should be cautious in interpreting the results in that it may not reflect the characteristics of current trade. Second, this paper uses ICOIT instead of world input-output table. Practical implications A large portion of trades in RCEP and TPP is triggered by a global production network (fragmentation, vertical specialization), different from traditional trade focusing on inter-industry trade or competition between countries. Thus, the formation of TPP or RCEP is predicted to stimulate trade of the other instead of discriminating nonmember countries. Social implications In particular, the authors have special concern in the backward linkages between RCEP and TPP, the distinct characteristics of the two regional blocs and, finally, major countries’ preferences of the one over the other and industrial conflicts toward TPP or RCEP even in an economy. Originality/value Although this paper uses the approach by Baldwin and Lopez-Gonzalez, this paper is the first research on the analysis of the export contents in major trading blocs in the Asia-Pacific region.

PurposeThe main purpose of this research is to investigate the supply chain performance through collaborative effectiveness, from the organisations of Asia–Pacific region perspective, compared with that of global organisations based on collaborative supply chain practices.Design/methodology/approachThe survey research methodology was adopted, involving the collection of survey data from 223 participants across 10 different industries and 6 geographic regions. Data included 103 organisations in the Asia–Pacific region including Australia, India, China, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia and Thailand.FindingsFrom a collaborative effectiveness perspective, the supply chain performance of Asia–Pacific organisations is different when compared with that of global organisations. It was also found that global organisations are driven by sales performance, while Asia–Pacific organisations are focussing mainly on the cost in terms of the number of employees, and therefore productivity. The metal industry stands out to be the best performing industry from a collaborative effectiveness perspective in the Asia–Pacific region and globally.Practical implicationsThe research findings can be used as a guide by industry practitioners to develop benchmarks for collaborative supply chain practices by industry and region of operations. This research has been limited to a few industries such as manufacturing, logistics, service and retail industries.Originality/valueThis research generates new knowledge on the relationship between the collaborative effectiveness and supply chain performance, from the perspectives of both Asia–Pacific and global organisations, based on a collaborative effectiveness framework. The study proposes an innovative approach of assessing supply chain performance through collaborative effectiveness from the perspectives of geographical boundaries and industry types.
