The book presents the major contributions to the seminar as well as remarks by eminent personalities from Asia, Europe and the Americas. The conclusions are tentative but reflect a belief that formal regional concertation, already manifesting itself in the so-called "growth triangles", for example, is probable. The benefits for co-ordination, however, will not accrue to Asian economies alone: the region's partners worldwide will be encouraged to help support some types of co-ordination.
