Free Trade Agreement (FTA) Globalization led to very strong competition in international trade. Every country set trade regulations to defend their local industries. International trading became too complicated for the World Trade Organization (WTO) to handle. The WTO is very ineffective in either regulating or settling disputes in global trade. It was easier for two countries to settle trade conflicts between themselves through their bilateral agreements. Many countries in the same geographic zone formed economic communities to achieve economic and trade cooperation between member countries. They tried to defend their countries from competition by countries outside their zone. Countries in Europe formed the European Union (EU). The US, Canada and Mexico formed the North America Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). Six countries of South East Asia (Thailand, Brunei, Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore and the Philippines) formed the ASEAN Free Trade Area (AFTA) community to facilitate cooperate between the six members. The objectives of AFTA were to liberalize trade, 114 Winning with Technology
service, investment and labor mobility by harmonizing rules and regulations among ASEAN members. After 2000, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia and Myanmar joined the AFTA. ASEAN was renamed the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) with a total of 10 member countries. AEC will have an aggregate population of 580 million - more than the population in the European Union - with a total GDP of $US1.5 trillion. Looking at AEC as a product market with high potential, in 2007 China, Japan and Korea joined AEC to form ASEAN+3. By 2018, Australia, New Zealand and India will also integrate into AEC to become ASEAN+6. This will make ASEAN a very influential economic zone because ASEAN+3 will have a population of 2 billion and ASEAN+6 will have a population of over 3 billion. These countries have very high GDP growth rates. The AEC will result in greater concentration of production in the region. Trade between countries in Asia will increase and will counterbalance their trading between the US and the EU. The AEC involves the economic integration of 10 countries. It covers the liberalization of capital movement, 115 Banja Junhasavasdikul, Ph.D.
