The book offers both an analytical framework and empirical analysis of the development of services Global Value Chains (GVC) in the ASEAN and East Asian regions. It provides in-depth discussions at both the regional and country levels, exploring the evolution of services GVC activities. The book examines the role of services in structural transformation, regional development, and liberalisation, as well as their alignment with GVCs across ASEAN Member States and East Asian countries, including Australia, China, India, Japan, and the Republic of Korea.
Key areas of focus include specific services sectors such as tourism, business services, logistics, health, aviation, accounting, finance and insurance, business process outsourcing (BPO), wholesale and retail trade, and knowledge-based services, all analysed through the GVC framework.
The book takes a supply chain perspective on the development of services, offering a detailed assessment of policy implications and the design of regional integration strategies for services. It also delves into critical issues such as migration, workforce mobility, digital trade, and skills development, highlighting their importance for ASEAN countries to adapt to evolving GVC dynamics.
Comprising 15 chapters, the book includes an overview chapter, country-specific analyses for 13 ASEAN and East Asian nations, and a concluding chapter dedicated to policy discussions.
