Cooperative Laws in Asia & The Pacific

Abstract

This collection and analysis of the major pieces of cooperative legislation in Asia and the Pacific is not only a useful reference tool, but also demonstrates the considerable progress which has been made in the legislative environment of the region during the last decade. The author himself deserves considerable credit for this positive development, since it was during his tenure as ICA Regional Director that the Alliance and its members focussed on legislation as a high priority. The regular meetings of Cooperative Ministers and officials, which have been held under ICA auspices since 1989, and the extensive preparatory work involved in these meetings, have undoubtedly contributed to this improvement.
