This volume addresses the growth of regional trade agreements
(RTAs) which have mushroomed since the 1990s, and considers their
potential as a tool for reducing inter- and intra-state
conflict.
Exploring the links between trade, conflict and peace in
different and varying contexts, this book maps the extant RTAs in
the region, analyses the factors which hinder or promote regional
trade integration and considers their economic and political
impacts. Presenting a series of case studies in four regions: South
America; the southern African region; South Asia and South East
Asia, the authors consider three key questions:
- What is the significance of the recent and rapid development of
RTAs for peace building both within and between countries?
- To what extent do RTAs engender inter and intrastate
conflict?
- To what extent are trade and RTAs hostage to conflict and is
regional political stability a precondition for economic
integration?
Regional Trade Integration and Conflict Resolution will be of
interests to students and scholars of trade, international
relations and conflict studies. It will also be of interest to
policy makers and NGOs.
