Globalization, Geography, and Regional Policy

The globalization process has had profound effects on the ability of governments to pursue independent national policies.

Recent theorizing on trade and geography attempts to explain globalization patterns and their consequences. This discussion paper looks at how these theories can add to the discussion about regional policy in Asia. It concludes that on both efficiency and equity grounds there remains a case for an active regional policy and considers current thinking on how such a policy might be implemented.
