Opis

This book analyzes and evaluates European Community (EC) trade, aid and industrial policies toward developing countries--their origin, main features, logic, evolution and efficacy. The author describes Europe's development policies as regional in scope, colonial in geographical emphasis and discriminatory in their effects. This incisive reevaluation is particularly timely as it illustrates the different strategies the EC countries might pursue in their relations with the outside world as they progress toward fuller economic integration.
