The global centre of gravity continues to shift to the
Asia-Pacific, the most dynamic region in the world. These economies
have generally grown faster for longer periods of time than any
other major region in world history. Their embrace of globalization
has been a central feature, and driver, of their dynamism. The
management of Asia-Pacific economic integration and globalization
is crucial not only for the countries themselves but also for the
state of the global economy, including importantly latecomer
developing economies who look to the region for analytical and
development policy lessons. Twenty-seven leading international
authorities in the field, drawn from nine countries, provide a
comprehensive examination of the causes, consequences and
challenges of globalization, in a volume that celebrates the
distinguished career of Professor Prema-Chandra Athukorala. Among
the major issues examined are the region's distinctive approach to
trade liberalization, the effects of economic growth on poverty
reduction and the labour market, the special challenges of
by-passed regions, the role of ideas in influencing policy making,
the modalities of connecting to global production networks, and the
importance of remittances in economic development. Several country
case studies provide in-depth analyses of development processes and
outcomes. These include episodes in economic development, the
challenges faced by transition economies, the macroeconomics of
adjusting to slower growth and rising debt in advanced economies,
and the so-called middle-income trap phenomenon.
