Welcome to IOU Digital Library

This edited volume compiles papers presented at the 32nd Pacific Trade and Development (PAFTAD) conference in Hanoi (2007). It critically examines whether international and regional institutions (such as GATT/WTO, IMF, World Bank, ADB, and APEC) adequately support economic growth and development in Asia and the Pacific. The essays explore historical development stages—Golden Age, Silver Age—and deliberate strategies for fostering a new “Platinum Age” of sustainable, peaceful growth spearheaded by China and India. It includes detailed case studies of China and Vietnam post-WTO accession and assesses the evolving roles of major financial institutions and regional cooperation mechanisms.
