Developing Countries and the Global Trading System - Volume 1 Thematic Studies from a Ford Foundation Project (Hardcover)

This is the first volume of two that resulted from a Ford Foundation project which considers how developing countries should participate in global negotiations governing international trade. It deals with specific problem areas, such as textile trade, agriculture and services as well as providing a profile of the trade objectives of 11 developing countries. The study comprises major contributions by a number of younger developing country scholars, intertwined with contributions from more well-known developed country researchers. Their views reflect the trade importance of rapidly growing countries such as Korea, the central role of debt and trade linkages for developing countries and the special trade problems facing African economies. The editor also edited the second volume of this study, "General Equilibrium Trade Policy Modelling", "Perspectives on a U.S. Canadian Free Trade Agreement" and "Trade Liberalization among Major World Trading Areas".
