Synopsis of lecture: With Doha still languishing in the doldrums, a range of free trade
agreements, economic partnerships and related frameworks continue to pop up like mushrooms in the Asia-Pacific region, including in ASEAN 'Plus' context. Is there a point at which the international legal, economic and trading architecture can no longer cope with
this level of proliferation within a multilateral setting. Is regionalism moving beyond parallelism and reaching the point of predominance?
