A Study On Regional Production Networks In East Asia

In the 1990s, driven by the acceleration of integration process in the world economy, the Economy of East Asian breaks through of the original "Flying Geese Theory" development mode based on inter-industrial division of labor, and forms a new production division of labor relations. In the new division of labor relations, the producing process of the same product is divided into several different stages according to economic comparative advantage of Economies, which forms professional production division between economies and base of regional production networks.The formation of regional production networks arises significant changes of trade structure of in East Asia, alters inter-dependence and impact among economics in the region and regions. The main characteristic is that, on the whole, trade including of parts and components within the region and final products to the outside of region grows rapidly, in the unit, economies at different location of division experiences different structural adjustment and trade development .Regional production networks in East Asian not only reshapes the division structure of labor, but also impel the economies of the region share development opportunities brought by the division of international production chain. However, the network has its own inherent shortcomings and problems, how to make the network better development and better services for the East Asian economies requires careful consideration. As China is under special status in production network, research on its development in the context of East Asian regional production networks is of important significance.The text is made up of five chapters, the first chapter is the Introduction, contains mainly brief introduction of content, purpose, method and innovation, and the concept of defining and Literature Review; The second, in the perspective of transnational corporations and developing economics, discuss domestic and foreign mechanism of production network formation in theory; The third chapter, through static and dynamic inspection on trade of parts and components, semi-finished products and other intermediate products derived from the production stage division of labor, multi-angle analyses production and trade structure of the East Asian regional production networks, and other status quo; The fourth chapter presents the facing problems and risks exits in regional production networks, and provides recommendations for future development; The final chapter, in view of China staying in the centre processing position of networks, pay attention to profit and cost involved in the network, and seek common development in accordance with its own national conditions.
