Developed nations strive to create the impression that their hearts
and pockets bleed for the developing world. Yet, the global North
continues to offer unfavorable trade terms to the global South.
Truly fair trade would make reciprocal concessions to developing
countries while allowing them to better their own positions.
However, five hundred years of colonial racism and post-colonial
paternalism have undermined trade negotiations. While urging
developing countries to participate in trade, the North offers
empty deals to "partners" that it regards as unequal. Using a
mixed-methods approach, J. P. Singh exposes the actual position
beneath the North's image of benevolence and empathy: either join
in the type of trade that developed countries offer, or be cast
aside as obstreperous and unwilling. Singh reveals how the global
North ultimately bars developing nations from flourishing. His
findings chart a path forward, showing that developing nations can
garner favorable concessions by drawing on unique strengths and
through collective advocacy. Sweet Talk offers a provocative
rethinking of how far our international relations have come and how
far we still have to go.
