		In 1997 the APEC summit was in Vancouver, British Columbia.

	Economy: Bush Team Hopes to Improve Standing in Asia During Presidential Trip - Council on Foreign Relations (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		With Bush about to head to South Korea for another Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit, "the Asia hands within the administration are making an enormous effort in advance of this trip to get the president and the top foreign policy leadership to focus on Asia in a way that they haven't ever done," she says.
		I think that, as is the case in many other parts of the world, people in Asia feel as though President Bush and his team have been very much of a "one-note band," overwhelmingly focused on the war on terror to the exclusion of other issues that are critical to Asia.
		In fact, I think the Asia hands within the administration are making an enormous effort in advance of this trip to get the president and the top foreign policy leadership to focus on Asia in a way that they haven't ever done.

	Testimony: Hearings on the Fifth Summit of the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation Forum
		In this regard, the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Forum may prove to be a useful instrument in bringing peer pressure to bear on governments in the region.
		Such practices may be sustainable as long as the rate of economic growth remains high, as financial institutions compensate for the low effective rate of return on loans to these preferred borrowers with high rates of return on other loans.
		As the events of the past two weeks have shown, however, if the economic fundamentals are strong it is unlikely that such contagion effects could adversely effect the performance of the real economy, though the financial markets may be subject to temporary instability.

		That was hardly the environment the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) envisioned when it decided to hold its 2003 meeting in Bangkok.
		Yet human rights was the issue that would not go away for Asia in 1995 as it became an economic issue, a determinant of aid and an irritant to trade from Burma to Indonesia.
		Many of the 18 countries comprising the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) group came to the 1994 summit in Jakarta with impressive economic growth rates and poor human rights records.

		Not unexpectedly, when economic conditions reversed, especially when publics experienced declines in their welfare and/or perceive inequities in the distribution of wealth within or between societies, performance legitimacy rapidly eroded, creating the tinder for social upheaval and political unrest.
		The crises of the last two years threaten to undermine the momentum of Asia Pacific multilateralism and its institutional manifestations, at both Track I and Track II levels, that was driven throughout the 1990s by a rising tide of self-confidence and feelings of accomplishment on the part of Asian elites, particularly in Southeast Asia.
		While there is little prospect in contemporary Asia for so-called diversionary conflicts being directly started by leaders seeking to externalize their internal woes, there is evidence that the ongoing economic crisis is increasing interstate tensions.

		At the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit to be held next week in the Chilean capital, the agenda will include multilateral cooperation in the fight against terrorism, but will completely ignore the human rights violations committed by a majority of its members.

		And he also comes back to his own regional economic grouping proposal of an East Asian Economic Caucus, first put forward in 1994, but opposed by the United States and (hence?) receiving only lukewarm support from Japan and Korea.
		Much as when it came to selection of a new World Trade Organization head or China's entry to the WTO, the US is certainly prepared to play hardball when it comes to advancing its own interests and of using whatever available vehicle and leverage to do so.
		Much as we doubt (and have previously said on several occasions) that Malaysian capital controls did much in aiding the country's economic recovery, so we doubt that Dr Mahathir's oft repeated calls for new international financial regulations would prove effective in creating a less crisis-prone and disruptive world economic environment.

		The arts, fashion and cuisine of Asia's ancient cultures have had a strong impact on other parts of the world for centuries, but Asia went through a period of relative decline as it lagged behind the industrial revolution in the West, and this undermined its influence.
