Editor – Hirohisa Kohama
Asian Development Experience Vol. 1, Japan Institute of International Affairs, ASEAN Foundation, Institute of Southeast Asian Studies, Singapore, 2003.

This book investigates the effects of Japan’s foreign aid for development, trade and FDI in ASEAN economies from various perspectives, including: the historical implication of Japan’s involvement; agricultural exports; the development patterns of the Southeast Asian economies; the formation of international production and distribution networks; poverty reduction; upgrading technology; and industrial agglomeration.

The contributors analyse trade, FDI and foreign aid from the standpoint of policy coherence at the interface between development, cooperation, and many other policy areas: trade, agriculture, food safety, fisheries, intellectual property, the environment, international finance, tax, policy, migration, and peace and security.
