Abstract
Asia remains one of the world’s fastest-growing regions economically, but also one with the greatest lack of international regulation. While the other poles of global economic development, primarily Europe and North America, include comprehensive and high-quality free trade zones—and multi-level integration structures in the case of the former—the international institutional environment in Asia remains underdeveloped.
