Regions and Development: Politics, Security and Economics

by Sheila Page (Editor)

Overview

At the 1996 EADI Conference, the papers presented in the World Trade and Trade Policy workshop looked at the new trends in regionalism from a variety of points of view for different institutions. They considered the effects of regions, their implications for policy and performance in the developing countries and for international economic institutions, and tried to interpret them in terms of economic and political theory.

The European Journal of Development Research

"an important addition to the literature surrounding the resurgence of interest in regions...a wide array of information on regionalisation and its implications for development. It will interest all those attempting to understand how globalisation has/is reconfiguring the international political economy and how this stimulates regionalist projects and the ramifications this may have for the developing world

Editorial Reviews

A dozen studies query why countries come together into regions, why some regions succeed, and whether regions are economic tools for development or political tools for negotiation. They find that the examples are too disparate to be called a single phenomenon, that political motives outweigh economic to some degree, and that other forces and influences in international relations cut across regional interests.
