The trend towards the globalization of trade, especially in the light of GATT and its emphasis on greater integration of economies throughout the world, means developing countries increasingly want both trade and aid, as aid alone is insufficient to bring about growth and economic development. Using a number of Third World case studies from Africa, Asia and Central and Latin America, this book analyzes this competitive partnership of international trade and economic development and discusses how various development strategies have been devised to respond to particular economic, social and environmental challenges. "Trade, Aid and Global Interdependence" is a comprehensive introduction to the complex topic of international trade and provides an important evaluation of global development--past, present and future. |

| Publisher Description: There are complex interrelationships between trade, aid and development, and with the move to a greater integration of economies throughout the world, trade has become a vital factor in the economic, social and political development of Third World nations. Trade, Aid and Global Interdependence presents a concise analysis of this vast topic. Trade is introduced as a concept and as an activity; aid and global interdependence are then described in the context of trade in practice. This discussion of the world's shifting patterns of trade is illustrated with case studies from Asia, Africa and Central and Latin America. |
