Routledge Governing Regional Integration for Development Book

As developing countries join the expanding global system of regional trade agreements (RTAs), understanding the mechanics of successful implementation becomes essential. This volume from the New Regionalisms Series examines the rapid growth of new markets and groups across Latin America, Africa, Asia, the Middle East, and Oceania. With few developing nations remaining outside these regional schemes, the book focuses on the importance of effective governance. It provides a detailed look at how getting governance right serves as a central element for RTA success. By taking stock of the quality and effectiveness of monitoring processes within developing country RTAs worldwide, this text offers a comprehensive look at current methods and future prospects. It is an essential resource for those studying the evolution of regional trade and the institutional frameworks that support economic development through integration.
