Synopsis
An examination of the political economy of North-South relations, especially of changing trade, aid and financial relations in the context of structural adjustment and of how these relations might change under alternative paradigms to growth.
Booknews
Four contemporary developments with potentially important implications for North-South relations are examined, with material on attempts to deal with US fiscal and external deficits, the emergence of three regional trading blocs, the implementation of the Uruguay Round of GATT, and the collapse of the USSR and its satellites. A final chapter examines approaches to development which do not rely on growth and assesses their impact on North-South relations. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
