The sixth Annual Review of Developments in Globalization and Regional Integration in the Arab Countries, 2007, addresses efforts made by the Arab countries to keep up with the pace of globalization on the one hand, and to assess the extent to which regional integration of the economies of the Arab countries has been achieved, on the other. The Annual Review was prepared by the Global and Regional Integration Division (GRID), the Sustainable Development and Productivity Division (SDPD), the Information and Communication Technology Division (ICTD), and the Conference Services Section. It is hoped that this Annual review will help readers to understand the opportunities and challenges of globalization, the need to expedite Arab regional integration and the means proposed for achieving such integration.
