About this title

Synopsis

This book analyzes and evaluates European Community (EC) trade, aid and industrial policies toward developing countries--their origin, main features, logic, evolution and efficacy. The author describes Europe's development policies as regional in scope, colonial in geographical emphasis and discriminatory in their effects. This incisive reevaluation is particularly timely as it illustrates the different strategies the EC countries might pursue in their relations with the outside world as they progress toward fuller economic integration.

From the Back Cover

This book analyzes and evaluates EC trade, aid and industrial policies towards developing countries-their origin, main features, evolution and efficacy. Although the EC was established 30 years ago and its states have become economically dominant in world affairs, the author shows that its policies directed at developing countries lack cogency, developmental design and general effectiveness.
