Description
Résumé:This study provides a systematic analysis of why the export processing zone (EPZ) became attractive to governments of developing countries, especially in Asia; demonstrates the extent EPZs in Asia have conformed to their claimed objectives; and explores the conceptual pitfalls embedded in this strategy. It proposes that the EPZ became attractive because it offers a variety of advantages including a compromise between liberal and protective regimes, a gateway to the international community, lower operational costs, and smaller political risk. EPZs in Asia have generated mixed performances, and several major conceptual pitfalls have often precluded their full effectiveness. The article concludes with some suggestions for enhancing the outcome of EPZs.
