Regional Public Goods in Asia and Europe

As economies become more integrated, development challenges are becoming more transnational. The provision of regional public goods (RPGs) can address such challenges. RPGs can play an important role in sustainable economic development at the national and regional levels by addressing common issues across borders. This report reviews the concept of RPGs along with the challenges and benefits of their provision in Asia and Europe. It presents case studies and a comparative analysis of the arrangements taken toward RPG provision in both regions, offering lessons for Asia.
