“…The negative indices of RSCA and LnRCA highlight that Indonesia had a comparative disadvantage in this sector during above mentioned time period. The competitive disadvantage was also seen by Vollrath index during 2003-2020 in the selected product group in the world market (Tampubolon, 2020).…”

This study aims at measuring the comparative advantage and competitiveness of the ASEAN-5 (Malaysia, Indonesia, Philippines, Singapore and Thailand) economies in the world market. The current study employed four indices of Revealed Comparative Advantage namely Revealed Comparative Advantage index (RCA), LnRCA, Vollrath index (RCA#) and Revealed Symmetric Comparative Advantage index (RSCA). The data for the analysis has been taken from International trade center UN-COMTRADE statistics for the exports of electrical machinery for these selected economies from 2003-2020. The findings of the analysis portray that Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore and Thailand had a comparative and competitive advantage, while Indonesia had a comparative and competitive disadvantage in the electrical machinery in the global economy. This study will be helpful for the policy makers to boost human capital formation and to increase technology transfer and innovation to enhance the competitiveness and comparative advantage.

“…In this study, RTII is used to assess ASEAN's regional trade bias as a factory economy in the form of production fragmentation, and ASEAN + 1, specifically between ASEAN as a factory economy plus one headquarter economy USA, Japan, China, or Korea respectively. ASEAN had developed economic integration with those economies in the form of ASEAN + 1 Free Trade Agreement (FTA) between 2005-2008(Tampubolon, 2019.…”

“…This reflects the ASEAN-6 export composition, where the specified products (HS-85) were always in the first rank, except for Thailand (the second, with HS-84 in the first place). Indonesia, which is currently generating oils and palm oils as the main exports, had electrical machinery in the third position (Tampubolon, 2019). According to Figure 2, Singapore, Malaysia, and Thailand contribute significantly to the exports of ASEAN manufactured products.…”

ASEAN’s Factory Economy in the Fourth Industrial Revolution Era

East Asia is the most dynamic region showing high economic growth in the last decades. This is attributed to the “Factory Asia”, which refers to regional fragmentation of production. In this case, technologically advanced countries, also called headquarter economies, hollow out the most labour-intensive production stage to the ASEAN countries and make it a “factory economy” producing parts and components. Technological developments in the fourth industrial revolution era have introduced labour-saving technologies in the manufacturing sector. As a result, low wages have become a less important determinant of competitiveness, which is predicted to end “factory Asia.” This study examines whether the adoption of Industry 4.0 in manufacturing is detrimental to the factory economy. It investigates intra-ASEAN regional relations and their relationship with headquarter economies, including the USA, Japan, China, and Korea (ASEAN + 1). Utilising the Regional Trade Introversion Index (RTII) analysis tool, the study examines the interdependency between the ASEAN countries and the headquarter economies. The vertical intra-industry trade approach was used to assess the quality of ASEAN’s exports to the headquarter economies. The results showed that ASEAN’s factory economy was not disrupted by the adoption of Industry 4.0 in the manufacturing sector. With a high intra-industry trade index and the positive intra-ASEAN RTII, the ASEAN trade block strengthens. Exports of higher quality products from ASEAN countries to the headquarter economies, especially China and Korea, have consistently increased. Furthermore, geography is important in network production fragmentation and there is a differentiation among the headquarters and the factory economy.

“…Figure 1 Two of the strategies in the proposal are to increase trust and deepen economic cooperation (Laksmana, 2016). ASEAN consented to increase the integration process under the ASEAN-China Free Trade Agreement (ACFTA), as the regional backbone which attracts the most attention, by leveling up market access as well as balancing trade power among the two parties and expanding the scope and Framework coverage of ACFTA (Tampubolon, 2019). States participating in ACFTA established an objective to achieve USD 1 trillion for trade among them and USD 150 billion for two-way investment by 2020.…”

Purpose: This study aims to scrutinize existing economic dispute mechanisms between ASEAN and PRC which can promote fairness and effectivity. With examining PRC’s non-compliance to PCA awards in the South China Sea case, this article aims to link between the rule-breaking action of PRC (the territorial dispute) and the preventive action of ASEAN. Methodology: This research uses the juridical empiric method, which analyzes the dispute resolution legal framework between ASEAN and PRC. Main Findings: ASEAN and its legal instruments were not designed to provide a fair and effective dispute resolution mechanism that can prevent both PRC’s non-compliance to international law and ensure fairness in economic disputes. Implications/Applications: Organizational behavior is important for family businesses and due to the difficult environment faced by family businesses in order to be competitive in our country and in global markets; a good option for owners is to invest in organizational behavior as a market strategy. Novelty/Originality of this study: This study shows that the contest of ASEAN-China partnership mentioned proof that ASEAN and PRC are not yet completely separated because of the SCS issue. Based on it, a conviction should not drastically block the economic partnership of the two or destroy the bridges between different legal systems. Thus, the initiative will fundamentally promote peace and stability in the region.
