In the Asia Pacific Region at the time of publication, regionalism was developing by means of 'open regionalism', constructed through the APEC (Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation Process). This was different from the regionalism which had developed in Europe, through the construction of a single European Market and Monetary Union within the European Union. In the light of this contrast, a number of important contemporary policy questions are considered by an international team of contributors. How should Europe and other parts of the world respond to the development of open regionalism in the Asia Pacific Region? Can these regions develop a shared global agenda directed toward sustaining genuinely multilateral solutions to international trade policy problems?

Its benefits derive from the increased competition for, and thus the increased value of, assets in Australia, the increased increment of incomes to Australian labour and other inputs used in additional production, increased national product, and increased taxes and other charges that accrue to governments at all levels. By creating a global market for Australian assets, FDI provides Australians with a stronger incentive to invest and grow their own assets. Australia has long had a strong policy consensus around the importance of continuing to attract high levels of foreign investment. This is because Australia is a small economy with a low savings base, and foreign capital is essential to fund the investment necessary to support Australia’s advanced patterns of growth, income and consumption. FDI also has a number of potential advantages over foreign ‘portfolio’ investment (involving equity stakes below 10 per cent) : it has the capacity to generate significant productivity dividends through the transfer of foreign management, technology and knowledge; it encourages local reinvestment of foreign earnings; it endows foreign investors with a long-term stake in the Australian economy; and it increases the competitiveness, efficiency and valuations of Australian enterprises.

The purpose is to determine the presence and direction of causation between trade and political events, both positive and negative, and to gauge an idea of the lag length of causality. The focus of the study is on the Japan-China relationship where trade is growing quickly despite long standing political distance between the two countries. The other important political and economic partner for both countries, the United States, is also examined by way of comparison. Evidence of Granger causality is found with the presence of lag lengths, and direction of causality being different for each bilateral relationship. The economic relationship underpins and constrains the political relationship between Japan and China while an increase in positive political news and a decrease in negative political news promote trade to some degree.

A relatively small, young population inhabiting a vast continent rich in resources and opportunity would not have prospered without external capital to build mines, factories, ports, roads and infrastructure. Direct investment also brings new technology, access to new markets, and new ways of doing business. Policies that prevent foreign investors bidding for Australian assets also prevent Australians from realising the full international value of their assets.
