Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. st t At the dawn of the 21 century, the impact of human beings on the environment continues to provide cause for concern.

Agricultural Trade Liberalization and the Least Developed Countries
ISBN: 9781402060793 / Angielski / Twarda / 252 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Although the current round of international trade negotiations was called a Development Round, very little was accomplished before the negotiations stalled in mid-2006. Developing countries as a group stand to gain very substantially from trade reform in agricultural commodities. It is less clear how the 50 countries identified by the United Nations as the Least Developed Countries (LDCs), which have been subject to special consideration in international trade negotiations, would fare. Would they lose their preferential trade access to the OECD markets and, if so, would these losses exceed...
