This paper examines the extent to which the key elements of globalisation, such as international
trade, investments, foreign aid, transnational labour migration and tourism have been mainstreamed
into the Poverty Reduction Strategy Papers (PRSPs) in the Asia-Pacific region.
Using a content analysis, the paper finds that trade openness gained the highest priority in
the PRSPs, followed by foreign investment, aid, tourism and, lastly, migration. As transnational
migration of low-skilled workers brings higher benefits to poorer countries, further research is
essential to find out the reasons behind the fact that this issue is being given the lowest priority
in the PRSPs.
