Abstract
Suthipand Chirathivat’s chapter presents a stimulating and neat picture of the process of economic integration in East and South-East Asia (ESEA). My comments are organized in three parts: first, I briefly summarize the conclusions of the chapter; secondly, I express some doubts on the usefulness of ‘labour market integration’ as a concept to describe the driving force of growing economic interdependence in the ESEA region; finally, I compare the Asian experience analysed by the author with that of Latin America in the 1990s and suggest some differences in their likely effects on labour markets.
The author is Minister of Finance of Colombia.
