The article presents a paper on regionalism in the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC), presented in the meeting of the International Consortium of Centers of Studies APEC, Viña del Mar, Chile, on June 26-29, 2004.

The economic reforms in the People's Republic of China and Vietnam started producing the first fruits, making possible the coinage of the term "socialistic economy of market " and the reincorporation of both countries to the world market.
