Trade and the Poor; The Impact of International Trade on Developing Countries; The Impact of International Trade on Developing Countries

This volume examines North-South trade in commodities, manufactured goods and services (such as tourism), looking at people who earn their living from involvement in the international trading system. It considers the role of transnational corporations, free trade zones, the international financial system, and institutions such as GATT, UNCTAD, and the recently established World Trade Organization. The conclusion puts forward ideas for improving terms of trade for the developing world which challenge the orthodoxy of the IMF and World Bank.
