International Symposium
May 30 (Friday) and 31 (Sat), 2008
At Ibuka International Conference Center, 3F Room #No.3, Waseda University, Tokyo, Japan

The Competitive Regionalism project assesses the causes and implications of the explosive growth of free trade agreements (FTAs). FTAs are rapidly spreading due to the dual forces of competition and emulation with very important implications for the nature of regional integration. FTAs can work for or against the emergence of coherent regional blocs, and we explore which conditions favor one outcome over the other.
