В условиях возрастающей роли АТР в мировой экономике, изучение механизмов торговой интеграции и выявление наиболее эффективных моделей экономического сотрудничества приобретает особую актуальность. Научная новизна работы определяется системным подходом к изучению торговых соглашений в АТР, позволяющим выявить наиболее перспективные модели региональной интеграции. Целью исследования является комплексное изучение структуры, целей и результатов деятельности ведущих региональных торговых блоков, включая Азиатско-Тихоокеанское торговое соглашение (АПТА), Южноазиатскую зону свободной торговли (САФТА), зону свободной торговли АСЕАН (АФТА) и Всеобъемлющее региональное экономическое партнерство (ВРЭП). В работе косвенно были использованы теория таможенных союзов Дж. Вайнера с фокусом на эффекте создания торговли и теория многоуровневого управления в контексте дополнения глобальных торговых соглашений региональными, которые обеспечивают более глубокий, но локальный характер торговли. В рамках исследования проводится сравнительный анализ торговых режимов, что позволяет выявить как общие тенденции, так и существенные различия в подходах к либерализации торговли и стимулированию экономического сотрудничества. Особое внимание уделяется выявлению факторов, препятствующих и способствующих развитию внутрирегиональной торговли. Кроме того, внимание уделяется анализу влияния тарифных и нетарифных барьеров на развитие внутрирегиональной торговли. Результаты исследования свидетельствуют о разной степени эффективности торговых соглашений в АТР. Ключевые выводы работы заключаются в выявлении факторов, определяющих эффективность торговых соглашений в АТР, и обосновании необходимости формирования торговой политики, учитывающей экономические особенности стран-участниц. Результаты исследования могут быть использованы при разработке стратегий развития региональной торговли, совершенствовании механизмов торговой политики и определении приоритетных направлений международного сотрудничества в АТР.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><p>The article is devoted to the analysis of trade agreements in the Asia-Pacific region (APR) and assessment of the prospects for the development of regional trade.
