| Summary: | The growth of regional trading blocks is
now a major feature of international relations. This book
examines regionalism from the viewpoint of developing
countries, and provides a comprehensive account of existing
economic theory, and empirical results. In a thorough
analysis of the politics, and dynamics of regionalism, the
book considers the relationship between regionalism, and
multilateralism, and explores the economic advantages of
non-discriminatory trade liberalization, which the authors
argue should be exploited to the maximum extent. Designed as
a practical guide for policymakers whose countries are
considering membership in a trade block, this book will also
be of interest to scholars, and students of international trade. |
