Des effets de la globalisation sur les inégalités régionales : quelques apports fondamentaux de l'économie géographique

Author

Abstract

La globalisation, terme utilisé à tort et à travers, est souvent accusée de tous les maux par la presse et les livres à grand tirage. Bien que les caractéristiques fondamentales de la globalisation ne soient plus guère contestées, les opinions divergent quant aux effets de la globalisation sur les inégalités régionales. La crise économique que traverse l'Asie du Sud-Est rend le débat encore plus aigu. L'objet de cette étude n'est pas de présenter un exposé critique de la question mais d'identifier quelques contributions essentielles de l'économie géographique dans ce domaine. L'étude comportera trois parties. Elle précisera tout d'abord la relation qui existe entre l'économie géographique, la globalisation et les coûts de transport. Elle visera ensuite à présenter, dans le contexte de la théorie orthodoxe du commerce international, les apports de Findlay (1995). Il s'agira enfin d'examiner, dans le contexte des nouvelles théories du commerce international, les conclusions auxquelles aboutissent Krugman et Venables (1995).
