  • 4. Trade Structure
    TRADE STRUCTURE 4. TRADE STRUCTURE 4.1 Changing Nature of Global Container Trade Container shipping routes can be divided into three main groups: (1) East-West trades, which circle the globe in the Northern Hemisphere linking the major industrial centres of North America, Western Europe and Asia; (2) North-South trades articulating around major production and consumption centres of Europe, Asia and North America, and linking these centres with developing countries in the Southern Hemisphere; and (3) intraregional trades operating in shorter hauls and with smaller ships. North–south routes are Figure 4-1 shows study estimates of the container trade volumes (full export/import containers only) in 2002 and 2015 of each of trade groups. Container trade volumes on the East-West routes will increase from 34 million TEU in 2002 to 70 million TEU in 2015 representing 5.8 per cent of annual average growth rate. The study forecasts suggest that the intraregional trades will show solid growth from 28 million TEU to 72 million TEU with a compound average growth rate of 7.5 per cent per annum over the same period. The North-South trade is also expected to grow at a rate of 6.2 per cent per annum on average, exceeding the growth rate of the East-West trade. Figure 4-1: Container Trade by Trade Group (2002 and 2015) 80.00 70.00 60.00 50.00 2002 40.00 2015 Million TEU 30.00 20.00 10.00 0.00 East-West Intra-Regional North-South/South-South 32 TRADE STRUCTURE 4.2 Asia - North America The biggest deep sea liner route is the trans-Pacific trade between Asia and North America, representing 14.5 million TEU in 2002, equivalent to 43 per cent of the total East-West trade and 19 per cent of the world total.

Thirty-six years later, the United States entered the Second World war when the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor in the Pacific. The average American citizen who had never had any occasion to study the lands and peoples of the Far East suddenly realized that his very security was at stake by the military aggression of an Asiatic power. The Pacific Ocean occupies almost one-half of the water surface of the earth. It extends for 10,000 miles from Panama to Singapore and for 10,000 miles :f'rom. Bering Strait to Antarctica. Only a globe can accurately show the great expanse of the Pacific; a flat map cannot port~y the vastness of this great ocean.

  • Comparison Between Far East Asia Model and ASEAN Model: (1) Development Strategy
    Development finance for structural transformation and inclusive growth: Asian experiences Akio Hosono JICA Research Institute 1. Role of development banks in East Asia: An overview • According to WB, East Asian Miracle • Development Banks: East Asian governments created a wide range of financial institutions to fill perceived gaps in the types of credit provided by private entities. • They addressed the need for long-term credit for industry by creating development banks. • Most have also created specialized institutions that provide credit to agriculture and small firms. • Industrial development banks have been substantial long-term lenders in Indonesia, Japan, Korea, and Taiwan, China, but not in the other High Performing Asian Economies (HPAEs). • In Japan, the development banks, the public Japan Development Bank JDB) and the private Industrial Bank of Japan (IBJ) accounted for about two-thirds of loans outstanding for equipment investment in the 1950s and about half in the early 1960s. • Their share in total lending to industry was small, however, and has declined. • At its peak in 1953, the JDB accounted for 18 percent of new funds lent. Starting in the mid- 1950s, JDB lending fell to 1-6 percent of new lending; the rest was accounted for by private banks. • The Korean Development Bank made an average of a third of all loans and guarantees in the 1970s, and the development bank of Taiwan, China, the Bank of Communications, holds about half of the assets of the banking-system. • Development banks have performed much better in the HPAEs (than other developing countries), especially those banks in the northern tier economies concentrating on industrial finance.

  • Essay 1: the First Half of the 20Th Century on the Eastern and Western Frontiers - by Malcolm B
    Essay 1: The first half of the 20th century on the eastern and western frontiers - by Malcolm B. Roberts Throughout the first half of the 20th Century, the frontiersmen in both the Russian Far East (RFE) and the Territory of Alaska built large scale rail projects, found and developed minerals and harvested wildlife for food, hides and fur. The newcomers mostly ignored or marginalized the indigenous tribes while Christian and Communist “missionaries” set out to replace traditional shamanism with other belief systems. (See Essay 3 – “Indigenous peoples on the 20th century frontiers”). Both the Alaska Territory and the RFE were thousands of miles from their national capitals and yet were funded and dominated by their respective federal bureaucracies. Gold played a major role on the frontiers, sparking a world renowned stampede to Alaska and providing substantial funding for the Soviet regime. The Russian Revolution led to a clash of ideologies between the so-called East and West that cut off communications. Many of the coastal cities and villages became military ports and outposts. The tension diminished when the Soviet Union and America joined forces in World War II, but the separation widened again as a result of the “Ice Curtain” that kept these next door neighbors isolated from one another for nearly 40 years. Excitement and tension At the dawn of the 20th century, as the sun crossed the zigzagging international dateline where the Eastern and Western frontiers meet, excitement and tension were in the air on both sides of the Bering Sea. An enormous workforce continued to slog its way across the great, mostly flat midsection of the virtually unpopulated Russian continent as they built the Trans Siberian Railroad, the longest in history (construction: 1881–1917).

  • The Russian Far East's Endless Winter
    The Russian Far East's Endless Winter by Felix K. Chang efore the collapse of the Soviet Union, the Russian Far East was well respected, if not feared, by many observers as a significant actor in Bregional and potentially global affairs. From its shores, the Soviet military could project its forces deep into the Pacific Ocean and, by the 1980s, as far away as the Indian Ocean. All that changed, however, during the 1990s, when evidence poured forth to indicate that the region was suffering from a profound economic dislocation, an awkward political estrangement from the center, and a general military demobilization.' Hopeful observers continue to believe that the region's abundant and varied natural resources might yet lift the Russian Far East into a more prosperous condition and Russia as a whole into a more powerful position in East Asia. But upon close examination, it can be argued that this future will arrive later rather than sooner, and require far more radical departures with the past than the region's inhabitants or Moscow's bureaucrats are currently willing to contemplate.
