The objective of this thesis is to identify and analyse the key factors influencing economic relation between Switzerland, an economically strong and innovative OECD country in Europe, and the Philippines, an emerging economy, member of ASEAN. Identifying and analysing the factors that influence their relationship leads to a better understanding of their dynamics, which in turn could be used as a reference for relations with a similar context. With this deeper understanding, steps can be taken to ensure that the relationship will not deteriorate over time. As the findings have shown, various aspects need to be observed to understand the complexities of international relations. Economics is only one piece of the puzzle.
According to the findings, other factors such as socio-economics, geopolitics and technology and innovation need to be studied as all of these contribute to the relationship dynamics between the two countries. Both countries show similar tendencies in these elements, which leads to several recommendations and opportunities to not only sustain the relationship, but to foster its growth.
Foreign policies on trade, infrastructure development, will be crucial determinants on whether relations between the two evolve or stagnate. There are plenty of opportunities to cooperate on a global scale, notably in sustainable development. Whether both countries can grasp them will be known only later on.
