The Japanese Economic Miracle. The Four Tigers.
The Rise of China. Collectively, these phrases and many others
denote what everyone knows. In the past half-century the economic
dynamism of the Asia Pacific Region has reordered the global economy
and dramatically improved the lives of millions. Most expect that
dynamism will continue. At the same time, a new commercial
architecture for the region is emerging, and the increasingly urgent
question is, what will that architecture look like in the years
ahead? Which agreements or patterns of agreements will be most
important? How compatible will national regimes be with regional and
global agreements? And what should today’s global companies advocate
and/or prepare for? Those are some of the issues we will look at on
March 22.
Christopher Padilla,
former Under Secretary of Commerce for International Trade and now
with IBM, will give the keynote
address.
Panel Speakers
will include former Ambassador Alan P. Larson,
now with Covington and Burling, Tomoharu
WASHIO from the Japan Economic
Foundation in Tokyo; Shotaro HAMAMOTO
of Kyoto University, Tami Overby
from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, Monica Whaley
from the National Center for APEC, and others.
