3 Rationale for Cooperation Shared opportunities Self interest Expanded opportunities
4 Scope of Cooperation Political (reduce conflict) Economic Social and environ.
5 Economic Cooperation A. Trade based/ liberalize B. Structural/ facilitate
6 Trade Based Cooperation i. Origins: Jacob Viner 1949 ii. iii. iv. Mechanisms: tariff reduction Rules: heavy with formal institutions Expected benefits...static and dynamic gains v. Scope: entire country vi. Examples: EEC, CARICOM, NAFTA, ASEAN, Mercosour vii. Extensions.. free trade area, customs union, economic union
7 Static Benefits Trade creation(diversion): trading more with a partner country which is efficient producer)
8 Dynamic Benefits i. Larger market leading to economies of scale (average costs decline as output expands) ii. Increasing intra bloc competitiveness iii. Tech. transfer and FDI (integrated market place within which division of labor/ production takes place) iv. Structural policy change and reform ( behind the border reforms)
9 Structural Cooperation i. Origins: Singapore/ Myo Thant 1991 ii. iii. iv. Mechanisms: trade facilitation and reducing costs of international business transactions by provision of physical infrastructure, policy and administrative changes, local institutions, border management Rules/institutions: 'lite', 'pragmatic', 'bottom up Scope: interested areas/ parts of countries only v. Expected benefits: multiple (trade, investment, border development, test policies) vi. vii. Examples: growth triangles (IMT-GT, GMS, Tumen, China, ZMM, Baltics, Bimp-Eaga, Carec, Bcim) Extensions : Economic corridors
10 Greater Mekong Sub Region (GMS) Example Transport Power Telecom HRD Tourism Trade and Investment Agriculture
11 Economic Corridors i. Origins: Myo Thant 1998 ii. iii. iv. Mechanism: diversified cooperation along specified geographical area to facilitate international business transactions Components: defined space or area, physical infrastructure, nodes/ growth areas, policies and institutions Expected benefits: accelerate economic cooperation, provide access to markets, provide access to raw materials or ports Scope: transnational eg East West Economic Corridor covers 1450 km, four countries, Mawlamyine to Danang v.

12 Costs of Cooperation Regional cooperation is NOT free! Costs include - i. Information ii. Incentives iii. Capabilities/ coordination iv. Adjustments/compliance v. Resources: skills and capital vi. Actual competition vii. Loss in tariff revenue viii. Trade diversion
13 Where are we in 2016? A. Economic cooperation has evolved greatly since 1949( and esp.1991) B. Third type of cooperation already here: private sector driven global and regional production chains C. Potential benefits are high but costs are not low D. Myanmar's neighbourhood has changed dramatically E. Myanmar will have to deal with ALL (3.5) types of cooperation simultaneously F. Huge set of opportunities as well as challenges G. So...Act NOW! H. Basic principles I. Maximize net benefit to the country II. Ensure that benefits are inclusive (region, ethnic, income class) III. Government needs to take leadership and provide vision as well as short term action plan on ASEAN
