The Proponents aim to compare the economic policy-making process of the European Union (EU) and the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC). Determining which process is better is not the goal of the study rather, comparing both is an advantegeous way of arriving at a better understanding of the two regional trade groups with the way how their agreements are met or, their laws are passed and, what are some of the factors that affect them. The comparative approach forces the reader to stand back and look objectively at their economic policy-making process. With the presentation of the different factors, this would provide an explanation on why such laws are passed or, explain why the reason for using such process. Lastly, it may give a some sort of prediction of what the effect would be if one process is introduced to the other and, if it would be applicable.
