Trade Policy Reforms and Development - Essays in Honour of Peter Lloyd, Volume II (Hardcover)

The two volumes incorporate major new papers contributed by leading international economists, on a range of topics that reflect the breadth of Professor Lloyd's own distinguished contributions to the field of international trade and policy during a career spanning over four decades. This second volume, Trade Policy Reforms and Development, comprises 11 essays offering new contributions on the following topics: * globalisation and political economy of trade * trade, labour standards and economic crisis * the changing role of the WTO * competition policy and the WTO * choice of formulas for market access negotiations * regionalism and bilateralism in ASEAN * ANZUS free trade agreement * new criteria for optimum currency areas * trade policy and poverty in Asia * impact of agricultural trade reforms on poverty * recent behaviour of US imports. The diversity of the topics covered by the contributors will appeal to those interested in the global trading system, and to development economists, particularly in Asia.
