The Paradox of Globalization vs. Localization “The World is Flat” Thomas L. Friedman New York Times columnist “The World is Still Round” Robert J. Samuelson Newsweek columnist
Regionalization: The Right Balance Globalization • ICT has allowed wide information access. • Goods and services can move cheaper thanks to cheap transportation and ICT. • The world is more borderless. • In a flat world, competition searches for lowest cost. • Convenience of flows of information, goods, services, and people within the region • Relatively similar psychology and national interest within region Regionalization Localization • National borders still have economic meaning. • National markets exist and are defined by psychology and politics. • National economic and political setbacks can threaten globalization.
The paradox has forced countries to form regional blocs Source: Wikipedia.com
Global View of Asia • Regional Blocs, including East Asia will be prominent Principal blocs will be Europe, East Asia and the Americas. • The 21st Century is the Asian Century! • Asia will be almost half of the world’s economy by 2020
Asia Pre-Crisis: The Flying Geese Before the crisis, “the flying geese” phenomenon was soaring throughout Asia and influencing the Pacific Rim economies. The formation resembled flying geese, headed by Japan, while the rest of the group followed. Countries toward the front tend to transfer “older” industries to countries at the back. Note: “Flying Geese” is a concept developed by Kaname Akamasu that best describes the economic structure of Asia before the crisis.

How should ASEAN ride the wave of the rising East (read: Chindia)?
The Rising East: Threat or Opportunity? Opportunity Threat ASEAN Integration ASEAN is the only region capable of being in the driver seat of the Greater East Asia integration* Individual countries in ASEAN are nothing compared to Chindia * ASEAN is the first to seat ASEAN countries together with China, India, Japan, South Korea, Australia, and New Zealand, as well as Russia (as an observer) in one table during the first East Asia Summit.
The First East Asia Summit Driven by ASEAN Initiated by ASEAN, the first East Asia Summit held in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, in December 2005, brought together leaders of the former flying geese, with the objective to establish the East Asia Free Trade Area by 2015 and moving towards the New Asia.
