Regional Integration in the era of crises

In this book we study the relationship between two phenomena that characterize the global economy in recent decades: the proliferation of regional integration agreements and crises. The interest of the subject lies in the paradox that currently are living emerging countries; indeed while they play a role increasingly important in the global economy they remain under threat of financial crises. The interest of the subject also lies in the originality of this research because the specific issue of regional integration as a possible solution to the economic and financial crises has never been previously treated.
