institutions, procedures, social relations, and infrastructures that are put in place for countries to
engage in exchange.

economies. For example, the Japanese International Cooperation Agency (JICA) aims to work on
human security and quality growth.
Fourth, production networks have expanded. Economies are mainly on comparative advantage
through the regional division of labor.
Fifth, cooperation among the ASEAN and East Asian countries ensued the ASEAN + 3 Financial
Ministers’ Process that established two economic structures – the Chiang Mai Initiative and the
Asian Bond Markets Initiative. The process aims to strengthen policy dialogue, coordination, and
