  • Executive Summary
    EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1. INTRODUCTION Economic Research Institute for ASEAN and East Asia (ERIA) submitted the Comprehensive Asia Development Plan (CADP) to the 5th East Asia Summit in October 2010, as a grand spatial design for infrastructure development in East Asia. The conceptual framework of the CADP, which was elaborated based on new waves of international trade theory namely the fragmentation theory and new economic geography, demonstrated how the region can pursue deepening economic integration as well as narrowing development gaps. This claim was supported by simulation analyses on the impacts of logistic enhancement to the region using the Geographical Simulation Model (GSM). CADP also provided a long list of prospective infrastructure projects which would be important to realize the policy recommendation of the CADP. During the same series of summit meetings, the 17th ASEAN Summit adopted the Master Plan on ASEAN Connectivity (MPAC) as an umbrella master plan to expedite the establishment of the ASEAN Community, during the drafting process of which ERIA also provided intellectual contribution based on the conceptual framework of the CADP. The MPAC defined three modes of connectivity, namely physical connectivity, institutional connectivity, and people-to-people connectivity, as the keys for the successful establishment of the ASEAN Community. The MPAC and the CADP share a common philosophy in the sense that both stress the importance of physical and institutional connectivity in deepening economic integration and narrowing development gaps. Although the MPAC is a plan of ASEAN, it also emphasizes the vii importance of the connectivity with neighboring countries including EAS member countries. Although the CADP successfully fulfilled its initial mission1, there still remain a number of issues to address, of the primal importance of which is the implementation of infrastructure projects and policy measures recommended in the CADP.
