グローバル人材育成の道｜海野惠一（元アクセンチュア代表）2013年10月25日
長い間経済学者達はAPECフォーラムの有用性について懐疑的であった。「一致団結した一国主義」と言う目標を掲げた強制力の無い組織が今後、有効に機能するのだろうか？(2)
APEC主義2日目
However, even some of those supporters concede that APEC now faces existential questions. It is under pressure on at least three fronts. One is to broaden its agenda. In the early years after its founding in 1989, APEC concentrated very much on trade liberalisation. This was the centrepiece of its main aims, the “Bogor goals”, adopted the previous time its leaders met in Indonesia, in 1994.

Bogor Goal： ボゴール目標 アジア太平洋地域における自由で開かれた貿易・投資の実現を目指し、94年11月のインドネシア（ボゴール宮殿）の首脳会議にて採択される。
In this area, APEC can claim some progress. Average tariffs in the APEC economies have come down from about 15% in 1994 to about 5% now. But much of that has to do with the WTO and bilateral or regional free-trade agreements. APEC helped facilitate all this. But there is no counterfactual: had there been no APEC, would there have been no liberalisation?
事実に反する
自由化
So, with the Doha round of world-trade talks seemingly bogged down forever, APEC’s ambitions spread into other areas. This year its motto is “resilient Asia-Pacific: Engine of Global Growth”, and its three main themes are the Bogor goals; improving “connectivity” (infrastructure, harmonising procedures and making it easier for people to travel); and “sustainable growth with equity”. All are areas where it is easier to state vague destinations than to plot precise routes.

Secondly, on its core interest—trade liberalisation—APEC faces internal pressures. Twelve of its members (including two of the three biggest economies, America and Japan, but not the other, China) are pursuing the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), an ambitious “21st-century” free-trade pact, covering areas such as labour, government procurement, state-owned enterprises, intellectual property and e-commerce, as well as traditional merchandise trade.

Meanwhile, eight TPP members (but not America), along with four other APEC members (including China) as well as India and three other non-APEC countries are talking about yet another regional trade group, the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership.
