re-examining-the-role-of-transport-infrastructure

This article explores the role of transport infrastructures in regional economic growth by comparing Central Eastern Europe (supported by the European Union structural and cohesion funds) and the Greater Mekong Subregion (mainly supported by the 'economic corridors' of the Asian Development Bank). Three main components of trade efficiency are scrutinized and compared: (1) the historical development of trade agreements, (2) the supra-national (regional) capacity of trade regulation, and (3) the micro level of governance between the different actors involved in trade.
