当前,全球经济复苏的不确定性仍然存在,而WTO多边自由贸易谈判却举步维艰,亚太地区各经济体转为更加积极地参与到区域经济一体化合作进程之中。另一方面,美国高调实施"重返亚太"战略又使得本地区的政治经济格局面临一场激烈变革,亚太各国的区域经济一体化战略也必须随之进行全面调整。东南亚国家联盟(ASEAN)作为亚太地区扮演重要角色的发展中成员联盟,仍旧坚持实行以提升自身凝聚力和竞争力为出发点,以"大国平衡"战略为基本方针,以东亚地区合作为优先方向的区域经济一体化战略。面对着新机遇和新挑战,ASEAN参与未来区域经济一体化合作将更为积极、更为务实,这也将对未来的APEC发展产生重要影响。
The global economic recovery is still uncertain at present. As the process of WTO multilateral trade negotiations is difficult, Asia - Pacific economies have to participate into the regional economic integration more actively. On the other hand, "Back to Asia - Pacific" strategy of the United States has made the region's political and economic situations facing a drastic change. The countries of the Asia - Pacific must also conduct a comprehensive adjustment of their regional eco- nomic integration strategies. The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), as the developing countries alliance which plays an important role in the Asia - Pacific region, still complement the core principles of its regional economic inte- gration strategy to promote ASEAN's concentration and competition, to maintain "Balance of Powers" strategy, and to en- force East - Asian Cooperation as priority. Facing the new opportunities and challenges, ASEAN will be more active in the future regional economic integration, which would influence the forthcoming development of APEC cooperation deeply.
