Abstract

Krisis ekonomi yang melanda Asia sejak 1997, telah meruntuhkan ketahanan ekonomi negara-negara yang oleh Bank Dunia pernah di sebut sebagai Keajaiban Asia ( The Asian Miracle). Bermula dari jatuhnya nilai mata uang  Bath terhadap Dollar di Thailand, krisis kemudian menjalar ke Korea Selatan, Malaysia dan Indonesia, karena contagion effect (effect penularan) yang tidak dapat dibendung. Reaksi pertama dari negara-negara yang terlanda krisis adalah mengharapkan peran aktif Jepang , yang selama ini ekonominya paling kuat.Namun demikian, respon Jepang ternyata relatif terlambat, sehingga muncul kritik-kritik bahwa Jepang" missed the boat" atau Jepang "helpless", yang semuanya ini menunjukkan proposional. Mengapa Jepang tidak berdaya membantu krisis?

Abstract

The formation of bilateral Free Trade Agreement (FTA) has proliferated in various regions since the United States (US) initiated the formation of NAFTA in 1992. What was striking from the phenomenon was that many FTAs were formed between developed and developing countries not only regionally but also cross-regionally. In fact, only a fraction of initiated FTAs successfully delivered the expectations of the parties involved. Conversely, it tended to yield unequal economic benefit to the parties. This has raised the question of: why states rush to jump on FTA bandwagon? Many analysts argued that states form bilateral FTA for the sake of reputation without considering much the consequences derived from such arrangements. This article examines the motives, interests, and preferences of states in forming FTA using political-economic approach, to clarify the determinants of FTA formation. Presenting the case of the United States (US) and Japan—two influential advanced economy states in international trade— this article took the US FTA model and the Japanese FTA model into considerations, provided analytical explanations on the political-economic reasons behind the devel¬oped countries' initiative to form FTA, and its implications for developing countries.
