In this book, part of the Integrating National Economies series, Stephan Haggard examines the position of the developing countries in the international trade regime. Focusing on the nations of East and Southeast Asia and Latin America, Haggard explores the causes of economic liberalization policies in the developing nations. He argues that various international constraints, such as economic shocks and political pressures from the economically advanced nations, pushed developing countries to open up to international competition and to pursue economic relations with advanced industrial states.Synopsis
