Scope for industrial cooperation in the ASEAN region

Abstract

Introduction Industrialization in ASEAN countries will follow its own trade-pattern in the future. In projecting future markets an analysis of the present trade pattern is useful. Certain assumptions should be made and a model should be developed to project a future trade-pattern in which the most desirable industrial structure is required. Self-sustained growth in industries is only possible when sustained and re-inforced by other economic activities and strongly supported by a physical administrative and social framework.
