INTRODUCTION

SEZs are considered the “sensitive outer skin” of its host country; a barometer to anticipate impending macroeconomic trends. SEZs have generated interest in developing countries to stimulate international trade and encourage economic activity in the country’s domestic market. Successful SEZs create new jobs for citizens, provide laboratories for governments to run controlled trade policy experiments, attract foreign direct investment (FDI), strengthen industries, and help countries avoid potentially restrictive domestic laws and institutions that may act as a barrier to growth.As the number of international SEZs continues to grow, there is a need to explore the past and present experiences of SEZs in both developed and emerging regions to understand the factors that can contribute to the success or failure of these zones and to collectively discuss trends and best practices moving forward through the strategic planning, development and management of Global SEZ’s.
