Economic convergence and fighting poverty -- pt. II. Regional financing instruments and fighting poverty. 330 $aCould regional integration be a first step toward joining the global market? In a context where liberalizing trade has not produced the expected gains in developing countries and growth in global trade has not led to the expected  economic growth, an alternative solution has emerged. This new paradigm  suggests that  trade liberalization should be accompanied by public investment. However, by its  very nature, trade liberalization leads to a reduction in revenues from duties and taxes, which means that the available resources for  public investments will also be reduced. There are now solid arguments for encouraging the less-developed countries to first emphasize regional integration before trying to access the global market. This book explores the issues linked to regional integration in West Africa and presents empirical data about  the experiences in = West African Economic and Monetary Union (WAEMU) countries to converge their economies. It also examines how these efforts, which make a major contribution to regional integration, influence poverty reduction in the economic and monetary community.  It will be of interest to  researchers working in this area.    . 410 0$aInsight and Innovation in International Development ;$v4 606 $aRegionalism$zAfrica, West 606 $aEconomic assistance, Domestic$zAfrica, West 606 $aStructural adjustment (Economic policy)$zAfrica, West 606 $aPoverty$xGovernment policy$zAfrica, West 607 $aAfrica, West$xEconomic integration 615 0$aRegionalism 615 0$aEconomic assistance, Domestic 615 0$aStructural adjustment (Economic policy) 615 0$aPoverty$xGovernment policy 676 $a338.966 701 $aAyuk$b Elias T$01693176 701 $aKabore$b Samuel T$01756399 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910438072203321 996 $aWealth through integration$94193657 997 $aUNINA
