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.
