Abstract
The 2022 QUAD leaders' conference in Tokyo significantly influenced the world history of economic integration. The meeting coincided with the US initiation of a new economic forum, the Indo‐Pacific Economic Framework for Prosperity (IPEF), which became effective in February 2024. This unconventional trade pact unites 14 member nations across four economic domains: commerce, supply chains, clean economy, and equitable economy. The Indo‐Pacific region is among the most populous and economically dynamic areas globally, encompassing four continents: Asia, Africa, Australia, and America. The primary concerns of the IPEF aims to address include bolstering resilience, augmenting sustainability, fostering inclusive economic growth, expanding commercial possibilities, and advancing equity and competitiveness among nations in the Indo‐Pacific area. This short guest editorial introduces the World Affairs special issue on the novel design and strategic importance of the IPEF and provides an overview of the ten article contributions it contains. 2022年在东京举行的四方安全对话(QUAD)领导人会议对世界经济一体化历史产生了重大影响。此次会议恰逢美国发起一项新的经济论坛——印太繁荣经济框架(IPEF), 该框架于2024年2月生效。这项非常规贸易协定将14个成员国联合起来, 涵盖商业、供应链、清洁经济和公平经济四大经济领域。印太地区是全球人口最多、经济最具活力的地区之一, 横跨亚洲、非洲、澳大利亚和美洲四大洲。IPEF旨在解决的主要问题包括增强复原力、提升可持续性、促进包容性经济增长、拓展商业机遇以及提升印太地区各国之间的公平性和竞争力。本篇特约社论介绍了《世界事务》杂志特刊——IPEF创新设计和战略重要性, 并概述了其中收录的十篇文章。 La conferencia de líderes del QUAD de 2022 en Tokio influyó significativamente en la historia mundial de la integración económica.
