Trade Policies towards Developing Countries

The 1970s and 1980s saw a radical expansion of manufacturing from developing countries, triggering off a new type of trade conflict in world trade. The response of industrial countreis has been multi-fold: ranging from protection in sensitive industries to preferences. This book takes stock, and evaluates the trade policy measures of, Japan, US and EC, towards developing countries, with a realistic, `non-dependency' approach.
