Agricultural Trade Liberalization and the Least Developed Countries

From the reviews:

“Book correctly identify much of the debate about agricultural trade reform as a dialogue of the deaf. Their response—of commissioning a set of studies and promoting dialogue between respected participants from both sides of the debate and seeking a consensus—has much to commend it. The volume offers many important insights. … well worth reading for scholars interested in the implications of the Doha agenda for the least-developed countries. Much of the book is tightly argued and presents interesting and important analysis.” (William Martin, Economic Development and Cultural Change, Vol. 58 (4), 2010)

“Offers a wide-ranging and detailed examination of the issue of agricultural trade liberalisation and its likely impact on least developed countries (LDCs). The book’s content laudably covers a broad range of themes, including analysis of ‘pro-poor’ agricultural reform … . welcomed by those already familiar with the debates as to agricultural liberalisation and the LDCs … . offers insightful analysis of the potential strategies that could be pursued in order to make trade work better for the developing countries currently marginalised in global agricultural markets.” (Mark Langan, Journal of Modern African Studies, Vol. 47 (2), 2009)
