Problems and perspectives of the limited integration in the globalization processes of the Mena region
Słowa kluczowe:
Mena, Integration, Globalization, Private Sector, Banking SystemAbstrakt
The paper provides an overview of the the MENA (Middle East and North Africa) area. The aims is, through the analysis of the complex political and economic scenario, to understand the lack of integration and participation to the globalization process of this region. Concrete development will only be possible through a significant expan-sion of the private sector, which, however, cannot play a leading role in the absence of a reliable banking system. Positive political changes will be an essential complement to the economic transition, especially as civil society seems to increasingly demand them.
