How did Australia's relationship with Asia change from 1970-1990?

We started to depend on them for tradeing. Answer This relates to Trade and is a case study of APEC ( i.e. Australia and changing trade with Asia from 1970 onwards ) Trade and Finance - APEC Asia-Pacific Economic Co-operation (APEC) is a group of Pacific Rim countries who meet with idea of improving economic and political ties between themsleves.

The first meeting was held in Canberra, from November 5 to November 7, 1989. This meeting was roughly the start of the organization. It holds annual meetings in each of the member countries, all hosting forums on Free Trade agreements, economic growth, co-operation (between APEC countries), and also general trade and investment in the Asia-Pacific region.

I have selected APEC (Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation) as a case study to portray the trade between Australia and other Asian-Pacific countries. And because in feel it accurately represents Australia? S Regional and Global Links.

APEC is the only collective that operates on the basis of non-binding contracts or obligations, members are free to join and resign as they like, with no fear of retribution, i.e. Sanctions. Unlike the WTO (world trade organisation) all agreements are made within a voluntary referendum type scenario (votes, ballots, etc.), where each country is given the same rite and value as the next, with no commitment to follow the results if the country so desires.

APEC has 21 members, commonly referred to as the "Member Economies"? Which account for roughly 2.6 billion people, around two thirds of the worlds population, approximately 60% of world GDP (Gross Domestic Product), and roughly AU$25 billion, about 47% of world trade. It also represents the most economically varied region in the world having generated nearly 70% of global economic growth in its first 10 years.

APEC 21 members consist of (in order or enrolment): November 1989 - Australia - Brunei Darussalam - Canada - Indonesia - Japan - South Korea - Malaysia - New Zealand - Philippines - Singapore - Thailand - United States November 1991 - Peoples Republic of China - Hong Kong, China - Chinese Taipei? Republic of China/Taiwan November 1993 - Mexico - Papua New Guinea November 1994 - Chile November 1998 - Peru - Russia - Vietnam Of late APEC challenges topics such as addressing the digital and electronic divide between the various? Members?

Countries, countering terrorism and introducing various things to help prevent infectious diseases. Goals Since its start, APEC has strived to cut down tax on trade and other barriers across the Asia-Pacific region, creating efficient and productive economies and hugely increasing export and import profits. APEC set their eyes on what are known as the?

Bogor Goals? , as adopted by APEC economic leaders at their 1994 meeting in Bogor, Indonesia. These?

Bogor Goals? Consist of Free and Open Trade and Investment in the Asia-Pacific by 2010 for industrialised Economies and 2020 for Developing Economies APEC also moves to create an environment where there is the facility to transport securely goods, services and people across the borders the? Member Economies?

, by means of policy and technical co-operation. This co-operation will help the countries of APEC to have access to more technology, i.e. If Australia has a new form of transporting goods quickly, or a new method then they might share it with other members to benefit everyone.

It also obviously encourages more open trade and investment. How does APEC work? As I previously stated APEC works as a co-operative, multinational economic and trade community/forum.

It is unique as it is the only country collective that strives to reduce trade barriers and increase investments without its members being forced into legally binding contracts. The forum witnesses such great success because it promotes talks and equal rights for the views of all its members and participants, making decisions based on the general census, thus understanding the open trade and investment goals of the majority and not the rich minority, as it is with the World Trade Organisation. APEC members do not always hold meetings every time new decisions need to be made, as this would be counterproductive, as some of the countries would not affect the majority of the others.

APEC member economies take individual and action just sop long as it doesn? T affect the other members in a negative way. APEC ministers and APEC Business Advisory councils help APEC Member Economies, although the general way that things go is determined by the members.

The system of governing is as follows: Conclusion/Benefits of APEC ·In the first 10 years APEC members economies generated nearly 70% of global economic growth. ·Also in the first 10 years: -Exports from the Asia-Pacific increased by 113 % to over US$ 2.5 trillion dollars. -Foreign investment grew by 210 % and by 475% in the lower income EPEC countries.

-GDP grew by about one third overall and by 74 % in the lower income places. In Relation to Australia Estimates put the benefits to Australia at around AU$7 billion (annually), in cut taxes, and around US$40 billion in new trade opportunities annually. In 2002 it was announced that Australia would once again host the APEC forum, sometime in 2007.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
