Trade and Poverty Reduction in the Asia-pacific Region: Case Studies and Lessons

Description: Trade and Poverty Reduction in the Asia-pacific Region by Andrew L Stoler Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Many communities in the Asia-Pacific region seek to take advantage of trade opportunities in order to address local poverty. The case studies in this book examine the factors that influence how trade can act as a catalyst for poverty reduction and encourage reflection on how trade can be used as a development tool. Publisher Description This book explores the complex relationship between international trade and poverty reduction through a combination of research papers and contemporary case studies. Written mainly by developing-country authors in consultation with local businesses and communities, the case studies contribute to our understanding of the ways in which low-income communities are dealing with trade as a practical challenge, especially in the Asia-Pacific region where approximately two-thirds of the worlds poor live. While making it clear that there is no one size fits all formula, the research and stories highlight a number of necessary preconditions, such as political commitment and cooperation at all levels, if trade is to successfully reduce poverty. Openness to trade, serious commitment to domestic reform, trade-related capacity building, a robust and responsible private sector and access to the markets of developed countries are all identified as powerful tools for building trade-related sustainable development.
