The failure of the 1999 World Trade Organization meeting in Seattle to launch multilateral talks spotlighted the increasing gulf between the developed and the developing countries over reforming international trade.
This clear-headed account traces the relationship of the developing countries with the world economy, the factors leading to trade reforms, and the political economy aspects of reform. A twenty-country sample provides specific examples of reforms.
The author pinpoints the actions that the developing countries must achieve to continue the trade liberalization of the 1990s, as well as the four issues to be resolved on an international level to reach levels of higher growth and living standards.
Sarath Rajapatirana, after a long career at the World Bank, is a visiting scholar at AEI.
