The book reviews protectionist practices in the United States, the
European Community and Japan. It assesses their causes and effects.
In coverage, depth of analysis and vantage point this is a unique
study of the new protectionist trends that began in the 1970s and
continued into the 1980s. Multilateralism in trade relations is now
seriously threatened by the deviant behaviour of the industrial
nations, the would-be pillars of the world trading system set up
after World War II. The new protectionism exerts strong pressures
on the weaker components of the trading system: the developing
nations. Born as an intra developed countries' affair, the new
protectionism has in fact shifted its focus on developing
countries, threatening the newly found outward orientation of many
and making more difficult for all to retain the benefits of export
trade.

This book, first published in 1995, looks at the East Asian
economies' post-war development and assesses the possibilities of
transferring East Asian development elsewhere. Written and edited
by economists, Sustaining Export-Oriented Development traces the
changes in the thinking of policy makers and advisers about the
policies required for economic development - especially the changed
emphasis from import-substitution to outward-orientation which
coincided with the East Asian economies' success. Several
contributors focus on identifying the key factors in the growth of
these dynamic economies. Others look at future constraints such as
the environmental limits to growth and the sustainability of export
growth in China. This book makes a significant contribution to the
discussion of economic growth and development issues and will be of
interest to those in economics, trade and aid, and others concerned
with public policy.

The fourth volume in the "Handbook of Comparative Economic
Policies," this book provides an overview of the development
problems and experiences of developing countries. Rather than
focusing on development economics per se, the volume discusses the
problems faced by developing countries, the way they sought to
overcome those problems, and their progress in overcoming the
problems. Written by renowned international experts in development
economics, the chapters provide the most comprehensive and current
comparative studies available, making the handbook a useful tool
for students of development economics, economists, and policy
makers.
