The Impact

This article explores the impact of the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) on the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN). It argues that technologies of the 4IR can bring huge benefits such as empowerment for small- and medium-sized enterprises and opportunities for countries to leapfrog traditional pathways of development. It will also bring tremendous challenges such as deep disruption to labour markets and the potential of rising inequality. To address the challenges and seize the opportunities of the 4IR, ASEAN will need a new way of formulating policy and regulation that will require: (a) evolution of the ASEAN Secretariat to become a ‘platform organisation’, (b) greater delegation of key activities to affiliated functional bodies, (c) a shift from long-term blueprints to three-year rolling plans, (d) democratise and decentralise and (e) establish multi-country test beds.

The features of the implementation of the structural policy of the state in the context of regional economic integration It has been established that the implementation of the structural policy of the Republic of Belarus in the conditions of the EAEU is affected by contradictions in the economic interests and forms of their implementation between the member states of the EAEU, as well as the strengthening of global technological uncertainty. These factors have a strong mutual influence, which seriously distorts the real-ontological forms of their manifestation. It is shown that, within the framework of the EAEU, it is necessary to develop a roadmap for the joint implementation of a new industrial revolution in all member states

This contribution compares the different paths of regional economic integration in the post-Soviet space and analyzes their implications for Ukraine. First, it examines the legal framework of EU-Ukraine trade relations and the impact of the envisaged establishment of a Deep and Comprehensive Free Trade Area (DCFTA) in the context of the European Neighborhood Policy (ENP). Second, the various initiatives of regional trade integration with Russia and other post-Soviet republics are scrutinized in light of Ukraine’s legal commitments towards the World Trade Organization (WTO) and the EU. It is argued that the establishment of a DCFTA with the European Union precludes Ukraine’s full participation in the Eurasian Economic Community and the customs union between Russia, Belarus and Kazakhstan.

In today’s world, two changes are going on: reconstruction of global manufacturing value chain and remodeling of trade and investment patterns. In the background, developing cross-strait economic cooperation in depth by promoting industrial integration will be a win-win choice. It is better for improvement of welfare to the people on both sides of Taiwan straits. Furthermore, the electronic information industry is a field which is most essential and necessary to be integrated for Mainland and Taiwan. With the integration of electronic information industry, both sides will face not only more opportunities with the new round of global industrial revolution coming, Asia-Pacific regional economic integration and new strategies for the mainland China in further opening to the outside world, but also more challenges such as uncertainties in core technical breakthroughs, multi-track operation in Asia-Pacific regional economic integration, and the changes of Taiwan political situation. This paper describes the foundation for cross-strait ICT industry integration and the challenges in its new newly-developing industries by the qualitative analysis from technology, economy, politics and mainland China. Finally it is intended to bring about the paths needed for the integration. The results suggest both mainland and Taiwan should establish common industrial standards based on capital integration and further specialization and cooperation in the industrial chain. Besides that, both sides should jointly develop and break through major core technologies gradually to realize the integrated development in an all-around way.

The Impact

Abstract: The regulation of the shipping industry is deeply rooted in treaties or agreements – whether bilateral, multilateral or universal. A multilateral treaty may result in the creation of a formal sub-regional economic integration organization, and there are many such organizations in Africa, of which CEMAC is one. These organizations seek economic integration and development through objectives such as the harmonization of transport sector regulations and tend to develop legal instruments that heavily impact the legislative framework of their member states as a result. The impact of the CEMAC Merchant Shipping Code on Cameroon’s maritime legislation can be seen from what Cameroon has achieved in terms of the modernization of its maritime legislation and the provision of solutions to the challenges inherent in its dual legal system. Furthermore, the CEMAC Shipping Code regime must also be perceived as a component of Cameroon’s overall effort geared towards meeting international maritime legislative implementation and enforcement standards. However, the challenges confronting the country at these various levels are huge and questions arise as to the adequacy of the CEMAC Shipping Code regime in addressing them. This paper thus sets out to make an appraisal of the CEMAC Shipping Code regime in its perceived role as vehicle for developing Cameroon’s maritime legislation and addressing the related challenges inherent in the country’s dual legal system. The methodology adopted is doctrinal in approach and involves a content analysis of primary and secondary data. The paper concludes with a proposed strategic framework for maritime legislative development and some practical suggestions directed at the government of Cameroon, but which should equally be useful to governments elsewhere.

The Impact

Abstract This article examines the effects of ASEAN treaties in the Vietnamese legal system. It demonstrates that, in addition to modifying domestic laws, ASEAN treaties, especially those adopted to promote regional economic integration, could also influence the domestic legal order by changing current administrative procedures, introducing new administrative mechanisms, and improving the overall operation of government agencies. This process may not be immediately discernible from an examination of changes in domestic laws; however, once the inquiry is broadened to include details of treaty implementation via administrative procedures, the impact of treaties comes into sharper focus. This impact of treaties on administrative procedures, while relatively easy to overlook, may represent the most important portion of the impact of ASEAN treaties on Vietnam’s legal order. More broadly, it also illuminates a larger point about the indirect, more subtle, and less visible influence that international law may exert on national law and procedures.

This article examines increasing regional economic integration in the Indian Ocean, along with the region’s rising importance in the global economy and outlines the challenges to greater regional integration. It finds that the strategically located Indian Ocean economy has become an increasingly important part of the global economy in the past two decades and has become more integrated within itself. Forecasts suggest that the Indian Ocean economy will likely account for around a fifth of global GDP by 2025 and its GDP per capita is expected to almost double. However, realising this outlook will depend on tackling several pressing challenges to regional integration, including improving port quality and logistics, lowering barriers to trade and investment, narrowing development gaps, and strengthening the regional economic governance. Tackling these challenges requires a combination of coherent national and regional policy measures. JEL Codes: F150, F410, F550

The Impact

This article aims to analyze the impact of regional economic integration on agricultural production risk in the case study of banana value chain in Huong Hoa district, Quang Tri province, one of the provinces located on East-West economic corridor. The article utilises methods of value chain analysis that is mainly based on descriptive statistical analysis, combining with qualitative and quantitative analysis to describe the structure, mechanism of operation and the creation of values. The research results indicate that the bananas are consumed in both the domestic and abroad market, namely: 80% of Huong Hoa banana is consumed in the Chinese market, and 5% is exported to the Thailand market and the 15% remaining is for the domestic market. Banana farmers are the agents holding the highest financial position on all three indicators of cost, marginal revenue and profit, but the least of benefit in channels in all three markets: China, Thailand and domestic market. The study also points out that the highly dependent degree of Chinese market is one of the main factors creating instability and unsustainability of the banana value chain in Huong Hoa district in the long-term. This article highlights the risks of agricultural products (cases of bananas) under the regional economic integration process.
