The Philippines and Regional Development: Overview
What kinds of decentralization policies are best to promote regional development? How should countries in the Asia-Pacific region pursue their economic devolution programs?
The authors examine regional development in the Philippines to provide lessons that can be applied not only in that country, but also internationally. Three core observations are that countries pursuing decentralization must:
- Establish a clear, predictable, and stable regulatory environment that governs
center-region administrative and financial relations,
- Invest in infrastructure with regional developments in mind, and
- Resolve
regional conflicts for the local and national good.
