There is no dearth of writings on international economic policies as even the limited bibliography appended to this volume will suggest. One is, there¬fore, justified in being somewhat fastidious in appraising yet another entry in this already crowded field. The book attempts to cover the entire domain of commercial policies. This makes the treatment of most of the topics, of necessity, cursory and elementary, since summarizing or synthesizing all the writings in such a broad field is impossible without running into encyclopaedic proportions. Let us, therefore, look at the work from the point of view of those for whom this is primarily meant. In the words of the author, "the manual, in the first place, is destined for ministries of economics, trade and finance in less-developed countries and for the training of all those who will eventually assume responsibilities in the field of commercial policy at all levels in the government, in semi-official and private business organizations, and even in private enterprises engaged in foreign

The conclusion seeks to draw out some of the manuscript’s lessons for China, the United States, and less developed countries. It looks briefly at current Sino-American competition in Africa and parts of Asia and draws comparisons with the Cold War period, pointing to both similarities and differences. Although the dimensions of Chinese involvement in these regions have changed, some of the PRC’s motives remain the same.

Generalized System Of Preferences

The Generalized System of Preferences (GSP)—a system of differential and favorable trade arrangements toward less developed countries, adopted by the General Agreement on Tariff and Trade (GATT)—has been around since the early 1970s. A primary objective of these schemes has been to promote industrialization and economic growth in less developed countries through trade rather than aid. The outcome of such programs has, however, been mixed. This paper identifies some of the underlying political and economic dynamics which led to the dismal performance of the GSP schemes of the United States in respect to the industrialization and economic growth of the Least Developed Countries (LDCs). The paper suggests that the effectiveness of GSP schemes could be significantly improved if they were brought under the binding WTO rules, if greater resources were directed to removing supply constraints in the LDCs, and if developed countries granted unwavering market access to LDC exports.
