Trade, Growth and Inequality in the Era of Globalization

Globalization has been the major phenomenon of recent years, open to a variety of interpretations and the subject of considerable research and comment. In particular, the debate over trade liberalisation, growth and inequality has come under close scrutiny as demonstrations against globalization gather pace. This volume provides a much needed comparative study of the link between globalization, growth and inequality, and assesses how it affects growth, inequality and poverty in developing and transition countries. Looking at eleven low and middle income countries, the authors argue that globalization can actually help reduce poverty and inequity when institutions and physical infrastructures are efficient. Divided into four parts, the book documents the lessons drawn from case studies on Africa, Latin America and Central Asia. Trade, Growth and Inequality in the Era of Globalization will be of interest to students and researchers of development economics, globalization and international trade.Sharma, Kishor is the author of 'Trade, Growth and Inequality in the Era of Globalization', published 2006 under ISBN 9780415352659 and ISBN 0415352657.
