　　亞太經(jīng)濟(jì)合作組織(英語：Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation，縮寫：APEC)，簡(jiǎn)稱亞太經(jīng)合組織，是經(jīng)濟(jì)合作的論壇平臺(tái)，其運(yùn)作是通過非約束性的承諾與成員的自愿，強(qiáng)調(diào)開放對(duì)話及平等尊重各成員意見，不同于其他經(jīng)由條約確立的政府間組織。

　　1. 什么是APEC?

　　根據(jù)英文直譯，APEC意為Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation(亞太經(jīng)濟(jì)合作)。可要是我們這樣稱呼她，總覺得有些便扭。那么該怎樣稱呼她呢?是叫亞太經(jīng)合組織、亞太經(jīng)合會(huì)、還是叫論壇?國(guó)內(nèi)最開始時(shí)，對(duì)APEC的稱呼是有些混亂的。但到了92年，考慮到APEC設(shè)立了秘書處，開始了某種機(jī)制化的進(jìn)程，我國(guó)外交部經(jīng)商國(guó)內(nèi)主要協(xié)作部門后，將APEC定名為"亞太經(jīng)濟(jì)合作組織"。

　　但APEC秘書處出版的"APEC Brochure 2001"，首段就將APEC定位為區(qū)域論壇。另外，中國(guó)前任APEC高官王隅生(音同)在其所著《一個(gè)中國(guó)高官的體察》一書中稱，"嚴(yán)格說來，根據(jù)APEC成立時(shí)的宗旨和性質(zhì)，它只是一個(gè)具有實(shí)質(zhì)內(nèi)容的官方論壇，而不是具有約束性的組?quot;。
