In the beginning, APEC was regarded as an informal dialogue group with limited participation. Today, APEC has become the primary regional international economic organization for promoting open trade and practical economic cooperation. So many studies of APEC focus on the activities and achievements of the organization, few of them pay attention to APEC’s structural development and decision-making process, which will also affect the outcome of the organization and the policy and willingness of participating economies. APEC is still searching for its proper identification and status. Therefore, to study the structure and process of APEC can provide us for further and deeper comprehension about this organization. This research hope to explore the organization of APEC so as to provide the academics for deeper understanding for their studies, and to provide policy makers here with more information for participating future APEC activities. This research project includes the following discussions: 1. The APEC Way: 2. The APEC Organization: 3. The APEC Change: 4. The APEC Development: 5. Taiwan's Participation in APE
