Title: Mega-Regionalism in Southeast Asia - Single- and Dual-Track Options for ASEAN Member States
Abstract:  This paper compares the effects of the economic convergence levels of the two mega-regional cooperative efforts of the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP) and the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) on the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN). It finds that the single track of the RCEP has preserved a balance between open regionalism and economic convergence that better fits ASEAN economic features compared to the dual track of both the RCEP and CPTPP.
