This is the second volume arising from the Macao Regional Knowledge Hub research workshop series associated with an ESCAP project under the same name. This volume combines 11 chapters under five parts: Rethinking trade for developing countries; Trade and production sharing; Trade in services; Trade, poverty and inequality; and Managing regionalism. Most of the chapters are written in a nontechnical language, but all go a long way in reviewing the most up-to-date research of relevance to trade policy formulation and implementation in the developing countries of the region. The first volume, Future Trade Research Areas that Matter to Developing Country Policymakers: A Regional Perspective on the Doha Development Agenda and Beyond, Studies in Trade and Investment No. 61, combined papers and commentaries presented at the Post-Doha Research Agenda for Developing Countries Workshop in October 2006.
