Overview

This book examines the impact of globalization on different countries and regions. Changing patterns of trade, industrialization, debt, aid and other financial flows are analyzed as is the debate about structural adjustment programs. Four recent developments likely to have major implications for North-South relations are identified; efforts to reduce to US deficit; the emergence of regional trading blocs; the implementation of the Uruguay Round of GATT and the collapse of the Soviet Union. Finally, the likely impact on North-South relation of pursuing alternative paradigms to economic growth is examined.

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.
