Il ruolo dell'Asia orientale nella nuova geografia della globalizzazione

Abstract

The instruments provided by economic geography help us to understand the possible effects of the extraordinary economic growth of many countries in the Far East and in China in particular and of globalisation, based on multilateral trade, which is nevertheless contrasted by the tendency of many rapidly developing countries to create areas of economic co-operation. Together with the macro-regional structure, with the consequent shift of the world’s economic and political centre of gravity towards the East, the balance between world markets and the capitalist model as we have known it to-date are also changing.
