`An exceptionally timely book, Developing Countries in the World Trading System, provides a critical examination of how the WTO can facilitate real growth in the developing world. . . Developing Countries in the World Trading System is a must read for undergraduate and graduate students, as well as economists and practitioners.' -- Remonda Bensabat Kleinberg, The European Journal of Development Research `This book offers thoughtful, well-researched and up-to-date contributions to trade policy research for developing countries. Its main merit lies in the detailed studies and thorough knowledge and understanding of agricultural trade policy.' -- Gabriella Kutting, Progress in Development Studies `Developing countries are again, as in the early days of UNCTAD, becoming a major focus in the discussion of world trade reforms. Their sense that the Uruguay Round and the WTO system failed to address their concerns is a major factor behind the current problems in mounting a new multilateral round. This book addresses the key concerns of developing countries and suggests a number of reforms that will enable them to become equal partners in the world trading system.' -- Peter J. Lloyd, University of Melbourne, Australia
