Ray presents a comprehensive review of U.S. trade policy since
World War II, with particular emphasis on how that policy has
affected developing countries. Special attention is given to trade
policy shifts in the last twenty years in an attempt to determine
whether or not U.S. trade concessions to developing countries
contribute positively to their efforts to meet their considerable
debt obligations. The author combines theoretical discussion with
empirical data drawn from the seven leading debtor
nations--Argentina, Brazil, Indonesia, Korea, Mexico, the
Philippines, and Venezuela--in a provocative examination of the
economic and sociopolitical causes and implications of changes in
protectionism and the pattern of tariff and nontariff trade
barriers in the last few decades.
Following an introductory analysis of the history of
protectionism in the United States, Ray explores the role of the
General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) after World War II in
eliminating protection and the impact on developing countries of
the changes in tariffs and in the use of nontariff trade barriers
under the auspices of GATT. Subsequent chapters deal with such
issues as the reasons for the adoption of the Generalized System of
Preferences (GSP) adopted in 1975, the relationship between U.S.
trade policies since 1975 and the world debt crisis, the reasons
behind the adoption of the Caribbean Basin Initiative in 1983, and
the 1985 revision of the GSP. A separate empirical chapter assesses
the effects of the new GSP legislation on exports to the United
States from developing countries in general and from the severely
indebted seven in particular. The final chapter is organized around
three major themes: the future course of U.S. trade policy, the
likely impact of the U.S.-Canada Free Trade Agreement on the United
States and Canada, and the Uruguay Round negotiations and the
implications of the Omnibus Trade and Competitiveness Act of 1988
on trade between the United States and the debtor nations. Students
of international business, international politics, and economic
development will find Ray's analysis of the relationship between
trade protectionism and world debt an important contribution to
current debates on the causes, effects, and solutions to the Third
World debt crisis.

instantly delivered him from a life of alcohol addiction at the age
of 20.After seeking the Lord as to where he wanted him to go to
church he joined the local assembly of the Disciples of Christ in
Goldsboro, N.C. Later after a period of time he was appointed a
deacon and after being faithful in that office he was later called
by God to preach the word of the Lord. In 1984 he was instructed by
God to leave and join a full gospel church that God was raising up.

years during which he established a successful puppet ministry.
