SALES #: 01.II.F.14 ISBN: 9211200253 SYMBOL: ST/ESCAP/2040 PAGES: 124pp. PRICE: $17.95 DESCRIPTION: In this publication, the air quality status and trends in the Asia-Pacific region are reviewed with reference to the emerging issues of concern. Although the causes and consequences of air pollution are often of localised nature, there is evidence of transboundary transfer of air pollutants having regional as well as global mplications. The adverse effects of air pollution are more pronounced in developing countries who are struggling with the environmental problems associated with underdevelopment. Furthermore, the pursuit for rapid economic development presents countries in the region with a newer set of environmental problems due to increasing air pollution resulting from industrialisation, urbanisation and motorisation. The report analyzes air quality standards and emission norms as well as policy response and strategies at the national and regional levels. Based on the review, an attempt has been made to outline the action points for an integrated approach towards air quality management.

The report shows that Arab countries have made significant strides in more than one area of human development in the last three decades.

For that reason, the report is especially mindful of the children of marginalized and oppressed Arabs, not excluding the Palestinian children. For that reason, the Report team has dedicated this first issue to "coming generations". The report was prepared by a team of Arab scholars, and as such, is a look in the mirror. It is aimed at stimulating discussion and debate by policy-makers, practitioners and the general public on how to best tackle the most pressing challenges to improving human development across the region.

SERIES: Policy Issues in International Trade and Commodities Study Series No.: 16 LANGUAGE: E. SALES #: 01.II.D.32 ISBN: 9211125448 SYMBOL: UNCTAD/ITCD/TAB/17 PAGES: 32pp. PRICE: $10.00 DESCRIPTION: It has generally been argued that regional trade agreements among developing countries may induce potential adverse effects on trade patterns among RTA members and between them and third countries. Using an expanded gravity model this paper estimates for a number of RTAs among developing countries the gross trade creation and diversion effects resulting from RTA formation. This paper brings evidence in favor of the idea that South-South RTAs, and African RTAs in particular, are not more trade diverting than other RTAs. This evidence suggests that increased trade with both regional partners and third countries in the case of South-South RTAs might be explained by the removal of "invisible" trade barriers as a result of trade facilitation measures favored by RTA formation. TITLE: Assessing South-South Regional Integration: Same Issues, Many Metrics SERIES: Policy Issues in International Trade and Commodities Study No.: 21 LANGUAGE: E. SALES #: 02.II.D.11 ISBN: 9211125596 SYMBOL: UNCTAD/ITCD/TAB/22 PAGES: 36 PRICE: $10.00 DESCRIPTION: The number of Regional Trade Agreements (RTAs) has increased over time. So have the complexity of issues surrounding their formation and the metrics used to assess them. Despite sustained research efforts, and irrespective of the approach adopted, the economic merits or demerits of regional integration arrangements remain essentially an empirical matter. Given the importance of this issue and the ambiguity that persists with regard to the economic impact of RTAs among developing countries, this paper uses a gravity model to analyze the trade effects of seven south-south RTAs (AFTA, Andean Community, CARICOM, COMESA, ECOWAS, MERCOSUR and SADC). It reveals the results of the tests and puts forward conclusions and recommendations.

Then, based on financial, economic, social, technical and environmental considerations, strategies including prevention, improvement and rehabilitation are identified.
