Will stabilisation limit protectionism?

a focus on the Gulf region

Edición de la obra Will stabilisation limit protectionism?

Focus is on Sub-Saharan Africa, whose development significance is evident. What may be less well known is that Sub-Saharan African governments have not resorted to protectionism on the scale of industrialised countries and some developing country peers during the recent global economic downturn. Sub-Saharan Africa is also the recipient of preferential access to the markets of many industrialised countries. This report contains two papers on the likely reforms to the United States and European Union trade preference regimes and their potential implications for Sub-Saharan Africa. These papers will also be of interest to those following the West's policies towards Sub-Saharan Africa.
