Content:
"This bookis an excellent resource and a 'must read' for anyone interested in APEC or in economic cooperation more generally. APEC has not, perhaps, progressed at the rate that was envisioned during the hey-days of the mid-1990s, but it continues to have a great deal of potential and could serve an important role in the future of the international trading system" (Journal of Asian Business)
