These two volumes of studies have resulted from a Ford Foundation project which considers how developing countries should participate in global negotiations governing international trade. They deal with specific problem areas, such as textiles trade, agriculture and services; as well as provide a profile of the trade objectives of eleven developing countries. The volumes contain major contributions by a number of younger developing country scholars, intertwined with contributions from more well-known developed country researchers. What emerges is a fascinating panorama of divergent trade interests among developing countries, the trade importance of rapidly growing countries, such as Korea, the central role of debt and trade linkages for developing countries, and the special trade problems facing African economies. In an era in which the North-South divide which emerged in UNCTAD in the 1960s and 1970s may be weakening, and with the GATT Uruguay Round delicately poised, these two volumes should prove of major interest to all those interested in the trade problems facing developing countries.
