The decade of the 1980s has been full of disputes between industrialized countries and newly industrialized ones, between developing countries and Northern markets, and between Japan, the U.S., and the European community on a wide range of issues. This new volume not only reviews some of the major trends in trade and development policy during the 1980s, but also brings together ten essays on different disputatious trade and development issues. Focusing on the steel, copper, tropical, bauxite-aluminum, and textile, sectors, the author provides an in-depth examination of the areas where trade has been most sharply debated. On the development side, a range of issues are addressed: trade-related problems surrounding South-South relations, prospects for foreign direct investment, regulation of the pharmaceutical industry, and European trade preference schemes.
