Economic development is the outcome ofa complex interaction ofa large number
offactors whose significance is still notfully understood. However, it is generally
agreed that a policy framework that emphasizes the effective mobilization and
efficient utilization ofinvestible resources, strong export orientation and openness
to inflows offoreign capital can provide a powerful stimulus to the development
process. The latter is manifested best in the rapid growth ofworld trade, in the
dismantling of barriers to trade and in the progressive unification ofmarkets in
goods and services, and money and capital underpinned by the development
and wider dissemination of technology. Purposeful regional cooperation could
play a major role in this process.

While many studies have considered the importance of economic reform in
developing countries and the economic effects ofregional economic integration,
few have related the two in a systematic way. This paper considers the implications
of regional economic integration as part of the outward-oriented development
strategy in Asian developing countries. Itfirst reviews the special characteristics
of developing countries which make regional economic integration an especially
attractive option, as part of a liberal economic development strategy. It is
argued that existing studies strongly underestimate the usefulness of regional
economic integrationfor development by ignoring its most important dimensions:
rather than relating to the traditional (static) welfare results of economic
integration, the salutary effects ofregional economic integration obtain through
reinforcement ofpolicy reform, as well as "dynamic� benefits inherent in regional
economic integration at many levels. Hence, regional economic integration is
not only a "building bloc� of unilateral liberalization but also a catalyst in the
economic development process. The paper demonstrates how this "open
regionalism� is being played out in the Association ofSouth East Asian Nations
(ASEAN) and the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation Forum (APEC).

Asian economic development has been based upon a largely conventional pattern
featuring macroeconomic stability, low inflation and a central role for private
enterprise. Development has, however, radically altered the social and economic
structures ofmost countries in the region, and new challenges have arisen. The
greatest challenge lies in the growing danger to the environment and in making
development sustainable. ESCAP can play a bigger role in meeting this challenge
through regional cooperation.
