1995, Journal of International Economics

AI-generated Abstract

The volume "New Dimensions in Regional Integration" provides a comprehensive exploration of regional integration (RI) efforts, highlighting the interplay between historical context and contemporary policy. The editors emphasize the importance of learning from past RI schemes to avoid previous mistakes. While the text discusses various theoretical approaches, including the impact of customs unions and the criticisms surrounding established theories, it is noted for a lack of robust empirical analysis. Overall, the volume is a valuable resource for understanding the dynamics of RI, though it may cater to a more academically inclined audience.
