Opis

This book provides an excellent resource for understanding the forces in international trade liberalization that has brought us to this point, both the successes and setbacks and the countervailing forces which now vie for the public's mind and support: the outcome of which will determine the future progress of increased globalization, or lack thereof. The book also examines whether trade policy has indeed promoted exports in the vast number of countries who increasingly look to trade agreements to gain a competitive edge and to what extent export driven growth has been an important force advancing economic development around the world. In doing so the book examines one of the most controversial and least examined issues in economic development, the promotion and significance of export-led growth.
