Description
Increased participation in world trade is typically seen as the key to rapid
economic growth and development. Since this work examines trade and
development from the point of view of developing countries, it provides a rare
opportunity to understand – and benefit from – the perspectives of the
developing world. Developing nations comprise two-thirds of the membership of
the World Trade Organization (WTO) so a work produced by an array of experts
from those countries provides an important window on the intersection of trade
and development.
Since many of the topics covered in the work describe on-going progress in the
WTO’s “development” or Doha Round, the book also helps readers to understand
the context, issues and results of this important round of international trade
negotiations.
