ASEM AND THE CRISIS
People's realities, people's responses
Kathleen Armstrong and Rebecca Dodd
The Asia-Europe Meeting (ASEM) was established by East and South East Asian and European governments to build closer political, economic and cultural links between the two regions. But economic ties have taken priority, and many issues of concern to ordinary people have been ignored.

Challenges of Globalisation: the case of Korean investments in the UK - April 1996
CIIR
For many years, trade unionists in the United Kingdom and Ireland have viewed low wages and poor working conditions in East Asian manufacturing industries as a threat to jobs and labour standards at home. Today, unemployment in the UK and Ireland has forced wages down and reduced trade union bargaining power. This, plus financial incentives offered by governments keen to create more jobs, means that the UK and Ireland have become attractive options for inward investment by Korean and other East Asian transnationals. This report presents some Korean, British and Irish perspectives on these developments from trade unions, NGOs and local government.
