Asymmetries in Regional Integration and Local Development

by Paolo Giordano (Editor), Francesco Lanzafame (Editor), Jorg Meyer-Stamer (Editor)

The costs and benefits resulting from integration into the global economy may be asymmetrically distributed, with opportunities expanding only for certain regions or groups that are quick to adapt. This volume discusses frameworks for policies that can help offset the polarizing effects that may be generated by these asymmetries.
