Description

With the increasing segmentation of the world economy into trading "blocs", it is clear that if the fragile economics of the developing world are to survive, then some sort of regional co-operation is essential. This volume synthesizes development theory and empirical studies to present a comparative analysis of co-operation in four regions of the developing world; Asia (ASEAN), Latin America (ANDEAN), the Caribbean (CARICOM) and the South Pacific (SPF).
