Opis

Originally published in 1984, at a time when international commodity control was brought from the periphery to the centre of international trade policy, this book provided a new and more comprehensive approach to, and an analytical appraisal of, international commodity controls. 

Recenzje

Review of the original edition of International Commodity Control:

‘…this is a book to be generally recommended both to those interested in international commodity problems and the difficulties of market regulation and to the wider audience of students of applied economics. It is well written and well researched and places current issues in a broad historical context.’ Alfred Maizels, The Journal of Development Studies, 21: 4 (1985)
