Samuelson took several years to find an answer to mathematical genius Stanislaw Ulam's challenging question, "Name me one proposition in all of the social sciences which is both true and non-trivial." Samuelson's answer was "comparative advantage." Since the doctrine was first expounded by David Ricardo in 1817, it became a gospel of both theoretical economists and practitioners. An open and trading system based upon multilaterally agreed rules is simple enough and rests largely on commercial common sense. According to the World Trade Organization (WTO), the system is also supported by the experience of world trade and economic growth since the Second World War. The weight of international trade, which has been an engine of growth, has shifted from the Atlantic to the Pacific where East Asia has become its main engine. Okinawa needs to capture trade-induced prosperity for its future development. This paper discusses the latest developments of international trade focusing on economic partnership agreement (EPA) and trans-pacific partnership agreement (TPP) which have been hotly debated in Japan and Okinawa since mid-2011. For Okinawa, the growth triangle approach (GT) has more merits than the TPP approach., application/pdf}, pages = {17--38}, title = {東アジア経済連携構想と日本・沖縄の経済戦略}, year = {} }
