The multilateral trade system rests on the principle of
nondiscrimination. Unilateral trade preferences granted by
developed countries can help beneficiary countries but can create
tensions between 'preferred' developing countries--typically
beneficiaries from pre-existing colonial regimes--and other
developing countries. There is also concern about the potential
erosion of these preferences through trade liberalization in the
importing countries, an issue that has been important in the
current negotiations under the Doha Development Agenda of the World
Trade Organization. 'Trade Preference Erosion' provides the
information needed to make informed assessments of the benefits of
trade preferences for developing countries, the risks associated
with the erosion of these benefits, and policy options for dealing
with these problems. The authors provide detailed analyses of
specific preference programs and undertake cross-country,
disaggregated analyses of the impact of preferences at the product
level. Understanding the likely impacts of these programs and how
those impacts are distributed is a precondition for formulating
appropriate policy responses. The authors argue that such responses
need to go beyond trade policies and need to include a focus on
enhancing the competitiveness and supply-side capacity of
developing countries. This book is a useful and informative guide
for policy makers, non-governmental organizations, and others who
wish to better understand the debate on the magnitude and impact of
preference erosion.
