Background
The Asia-Pacific Trade and Investment
Review (APTIR) is a new regular
publication of the United Nations
Economic and Social Commission for
Asia and the Pacific (UNESCAP) launched
in 2004. This initiative is part
of UNESCAP’s efforts to increase
the capacity of developing countries
in the region to participate in
and benefit from the multilateral
trading system and the regional
and bilateral agreements through
the dissemination of best practices
and research findings in the fields
of trade and investment policy and
facilitation (E/ESCAP/1330, paras.
105 and 163, 2004).
The Review is directed to policymakers
as well as to practitioners and
experts from governments, business,
academia, international agencies,
and non-governmental organizations.
Emerging issues and initiatives
which may affect the development
of trade and investment in the region
are presented in an analytical but
yet non-technical manner. The Review
emphasizes policy relevance and
operational aspects of trade and
investment, rather than theoretical
and methodological issues.
APTIR International Advisory
Board
The Review is
managed by UNESCAP Trade and Investment Division with the help of an International
Advisory Board composed of recognized experts and academics in the field
of trade and investment.
Call for Papers / Guidelines for Authors
The first issue of the Review was
released in April 2005. Two issues
of the Review will be published
annually. Authors are invited to
contribute papers for future issues
of the Review.
