International trade is now almost universally regarded as an
important stimulus to growth and economic development, but while
many aspects of international trade are regulated by international
agreement, most nations retain some important specific trade
policies for manufactured goods. In this work, the second volume of
Greenwood's Handbook of Comparative Economic Policies, Dominick
Salvatore presents an overview of national trade policies in the
world's most important countries. As the only detailed comparative
study of international trade policies, this volume will be an
increasingly useful reference tool as international trade becomes
more and more important in the years to come. The work brings
together contributions on twenty-two different countries plus four
chapters on overall trade policies and helps to shed light not only
on each nation's specific trade policies but also on the effect of
various policies on the growth of developed countries, the rate of
economic development, and the progress of restructuring in the
former centrally planned economies. The book is divided into six
basic sections: the first provides an introduction to international
trade policies and tariff and trade agreements, while the remaining
five sections detail leading industrial countries, other industrial
countries, Latin American nations, the countries of Asia and
Africa, and the USSR, Poland, and China. Each chapter within these
sections offers an easily accessible overview of trade policies as
well as a list of references that identify the most important
sources of additional information. This handbook will be an
effective resource and reference tool for students of comparative
economics and for economists and international policymakers.
