王勤 著
中国经济出版社 2007年版
从20世纪80年代起，当代国际竞争力的研究迅速兴起。到80年代后期，国际权威研究机构正式公布了世界各国和地区的国际竞争力报告，东盟四国（印尼、马来西亚、新加坡和泰国）一开始就被纳入国际竞争力的世界评价体系，菲律宾在1992年进入这一评价体系，90年代末以后越南和柬埔寨也先后加入这一评价体系。90年代以来，东盟的国际竞争力逐渐受到各国政府、学界和企业的普遍关注，也成为该区域研究的前沿和热点问题之一。
伴随着全球化进程的加速，各国的国际竞争力成为其参与经济全球化的前提条件和核心内容。本书借鉴和运用当代国际竞争力理论与评价体系，以东盟的国际竞争力形成与发展为主线，以国家竞争力、产业竞争力、企业竞争力和区域竞争力为重点，对该区域的国际竞争力进行历史考察和综合研究，探索全球化进程中东盟国际竞争力的基本特征和发展趋势。全书分7章，20余万字。
