Abstract
The paper explores the current issues and brings to light their implications and the outlook for regional peace and security, with particular relevance to ASEAN nations. The ASEAN nations now include Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam.
The paper finds that peace and stability in the Asia-Pacific region is threatened by an enormous buildup of armed forces on the continent.
From the Paper
"The Asia Pacific region is one of the most heavily armed regions of the world. The United States is the world's leading military superpower. China (the PRC) has had nuclear weapons since the 1960s and the largest army in the world. Japan could easily become a nuclear power and its Self-Defense forces, particularly its air force and navy, are formidable. The military presence of the Russians in the region has considerably receded since 1990, but they are a major source of high technology weaponry for the PRC. North Korea has a heavily armed standing army of over one million and is an incipient nuclear power. South Korea has strong conventional forces. Taiwan has been arming in self-defense as have the smaller ASEAN nations."

Abstract
The paper discusses how growth in the Asia-Pacific region has been explosive, largely due to the amount of foreign direct investment (FDI). The paper looks at theories of the positive and negative consequences of FDI in the growth and economic development of developing countries. The paper explains that the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of a country, especially one that is developing, is important; it helps them to receive more credit, allows them to do more with the capital that they have and ensures that their currency is more valuable. The paper points out that there should be a higher FDI in many of the developing countries and notes that China is receiving much more FDI than the other developing countries.
Outline:
Introduction
Economic Factors
Institutional Structure
Environment and Economic Growth Performance
Conclusion
From the Paper
"The productivity that is seen in these developing economies is highly important. Productivity is raised when FDI is involved, largely due to the fact that more people in the host country are able to get jobs. Many of these developing countries are not able to support themselves very well, and many of their people are very poor (Wakeman, 1984). When foreign investors become more involved in a country, they bring jobs, and they bring wages that are usually quite respectable for that particular country. This is a strong incentive for individuals in that country to seek employment at the new business, and therefore the people that do receive employment there will want to work very hard to ensure the safety of their jobs and to attempt to get raises and promotions (Wakeman, 1984)."

Abstract
This paper provides a marketing analysis that discusses infrastructure as well as economic and social conditions - since each has a role in determining the suitability of a country in any marketing analysis process. The analysis focuses on the Asia Pacific region i.e., Australia, New Zealand, Fiji, Singapore, North Korea, South Korea, Philippines, Burma, Thailand, Laos and Vietnam in particular.
From the Paper
"The availability of quality of commercial infrastructure is critically important in evaluating marketing operations abroad. The existing infrastructure varies in sophistication and in areas of weakness from country to country. The dynamics of the commercial infrastructure includes more than simply the number of airports and seaports. In marketing analysis one must also consider recent economic and political events as well as the general condition of the economy."

Asia Pacific LDCs (Least Developed Countries) & Cambodia
The paper is filled with examples and recent statistics of countries including USA, Australia, Taiwan, Europe, Japan, Cambodia, and Asia-Pacific LDCs in general.
From the Paper
"According to McTaggart et al, there are several pre-conditions for economic growth. One of which is the existence of an institutional framework that is crucial to the creation of incentives. This institutional framework included markets (supply and demand), property rights, facilities for monetary exchange, as well as simple and transparent regulatory systems (1999: 32.7). Market prices send signals to buys and sellers that create incentives to increase or decrease the quantities demanded and supplied. Markets also enable people to specialise and trade and to save and invest. Property rights are the social arrangements that govern the ownership, use and disposal of factors of production and goods and services (McTaggart et al, 1999:32.17). They include the rights to physical property, to financial property and to intellectual property. The existence of property rights and their enforcement by the law provide people with certainty in their business dealings and hence they help provide macroeconomic stability and a pre-condition for growth."

"U.S. Response to Chinese Rivalry in Asia-Pacific Region
Background
With the end of the Cold War, the United States lost its primary rival for influence in the world: the Soviet Union. Moreover, the importance of Europe to the United States declined in importance in relation to that of the Asia-Pacific Region. U.S. trade with Asian nations now exceeds that with European nations and this disparity will continue to grow. Japan now has the second largest economy in the world (after that of the United States) and China's economy is projected to be the third largest within twenty years. This means that the country exercising the most influence in this region will probably also be the most influential nation in the world.
Without a doubt, China represents the greatest contender for the ..."

From the Paper
"Over the last 20 years, in tandem with the spread of globalization as the world's leading economic and financial model, the World Trade Organization (WTO) and its function as the leading international trade facilitator, has been the leading agent in the promotion of global business. In tandem with other international bodies, the WTO has spearheaded global business practices founded on the principles of free and fair trade and nowhere has this effect been more pronounced than in Asia and particularly in China (Mendoza & Bahadur, 2002, paras.2-8)."

Conclusion
From the Paper
"The globalization of markets is the merging of distinctly separate national markets into a global marketplace and tastes and preferences converge onto a global norm (Martin, 2007). The increased globalization of markets occurred with the reduction in trade barriers and the removal of restrictions to foreign direct investment."
"Many economists believe that all countries benefit from engaging in free trade agreements. This belief shapes the economic policy of many nations and is the premise for trading blocs. Trading blocs are groups of countries that form institutions to help manage, regulate and police the global marketplace. Nowhere has the world seen a better example of economic integration than in Europe (Hill, 2004)."

Abstract
This paper discusses that relational approaches to thinking about regional disparities or imbalances include dependency theory, Neo-Marxism, the Hinterlanders' theory, and early Canadian economic history and political sociology, especially the theories of Fowke and Innis. All of these theories stress that regions are defined in relation to one another, discover that regions and regional imbalances are historically produced (they exist as a result of historical economic/social/political interactions) and that they consequently change over time.

Abstract
This paper examines how the future for regional jet service in the United States and abroad appears to be very bright and how regional passenger jets, defined as jet planes seating between 25 and 110 passengers, are becoming increasingly popular alternatives to the turbo-prop ?puddle-jumper? aircraft businesspeople have come to associate with commuter flights in smaller markets. It provides an overview and background of regional jets, the associated cost factors and controversies, an assessment of the potential impact of the identified alternatives, and the sell-offs of regional carriers by the major carrier owners.
From the Paper
"As a result of their increasing popularity, regional jets have also created their share of controversies, including claims these types of aircraft are clogging the nation?s already stressed airports and issues concerning equitable pay rates for regional jet pilots compared to their mainstream aviation counterparts. ?Some say regional jets are jamming the system, but that's not true,? says Faye Malarkey, a legislative director for the Regional Airline Association (RAA). Rather, Malarkey says that regional jets are ?part of the solution? (Arnoult, 2000, p. 67). Likewise, the President of the RAA, Deborah McElroy says, ?We think that they are making regional jets a scapegoat. That's not appropriate. regional jets are added because that's what the passengers want? (Arnoult, 2000, p. 67). "

Abstract
This paper analyzes the role of regional integration in promoting global business throughout North America. It explains that geographical proximity has been an important factor in the successful establishment of regional trading blocs such as NAFTA. The author claims that the members of the North American Free Trade Association have studied the European Union experience in order to evaluate the successes and failures of the EU in terms of regional integration and global business, and to craft their own approaches to promoting regional integration and global business in North America.
From the Paper
"In analyzing the role of regional integration in promoting global business throughout North America, it is evident that geographical proximity has been an important factor in the successful establishment of regional trading blocs such as NAFTA. As one might expect, the members of the North American Free Trade Association have studied the European Union experience in order to evaluate the successes and failures of the EU in terms of regional integration and global business, and to craft their own approaches to promoting regional integration and global business in North America. Implementation of the North American Free Trade Agreement began on January 1, 1994. NAFTA has or will remove most barriers to trade and investment among the United States, Canada, and Mexico by 2008."

Abstract
This essay briefly reviews the development and existence of an emerging culture of systemic disparity between China's regions and people. The essay discusses that despite successes in the spillover of economic growth into other regions; the collective emphasis on staged regional economic development united with China's ambition of becoming a global economic power has resulted in the rise of a culture of superiority in the coastal region.
From the Paper
"Regional Development and Inequity in Contemporary China STATEMENT OF ARGUMENT: Despite successes in the spillover of economic growth into other regions; the collective emphasis on staged regional economic development united with China's ambition of becoming a global economic power has resulted in the rise of a culture of superiority in the coastal region. ESSAY: Barry Naughton argues that despite the popular opinion that suggests that region disparities in China are increasing, the empirical facts indicate that overall, change in rank of GDP is too diverse to determine this one way or another. In contrast to this opinion, other scholars state that regional disparities are real and in fact planned."
