Summary

"Indonesia is the largest Muslim country in the world. Would a free trade agreement (FTA) with the country be both economically and politically beneficial to the United States? What kind of benefits could Indonesia expect? This book presents a case for improved trade relations between Indonesia and the United States and recommends advancing talks toward a US-Indonesia FTA. The authors present a detailed study of the stakes involved in the proposed negotiation and estimate the FTA's potential for trade creation, trade diversion, and welfare under different scenarios."--BOOK JACKET.
