South–South Economic Linkages: An Overview
Jha, Shikha; McCawley, Peter | August 2011
Abstract
Shikha Jha and Peter McCawley survey the expanding South–South international economic linkages in recent decades and note the growth in the areas of trade and investment relations; and in various other forms of economic relationships as well such as through labor markets, technology, policy coordination, and regional cooperation. Looking ahead, the prospects are that the changing architecture of international economic relations that South–South cooperation reflects will continue to gain in importance and will contribute to growth across the developing world. Policies that support both pro-market linkages and effective government partnerships will help South–South cooperation to grow further.

Hamanaka, Shintaro (Asian Development Bank, 2012-09-01)In understanding the proliferation of free trade agreements (FTAs) in Asia since 2000, it is important to distinguish between two types of FTAs in terms of a legal basis on either General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) Article XXIV or the Enabling Clause.

While there are a total of 34 Enabling Clause-based FTAs ...In understanding the proliferation of free trade agreements (FTAs) in Asia since 2000, it is important to distinguish between two types of FTAs in terms of a legal basis on either General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) Article XXIV or the Enabling ... -
