TY - GEN AU - Page, Sheila TI - Trade and Regionalism: The Links with Development PY - 2011 Y1 - 2011/02/14 DO - 10.18235/0006636 AB - Neither regional integration nor trade is a welfare or policy objective in itself. If countries are pursuing policies to promote them, this is as a means to improve their welfare. The ultimate objective need not be under a purely economic definition: there is a long history of seeing integration through trade as a way of preventing conflict among countries.
