The two volumes incorporate major new papers contributed by leading international economists, on a range of topics that reflect the breadth of Professor Lloyd's own distinguished contributions to the field of international trade and policy during a career spanning over four decades. This second volume, Trade Policy Reforms and Development, comprises 11 essays offering new contributions on the following topics:
globalisation and political economy of trade
trade, labour standards and economic crisis
the changing role of the WTO
• competition policy and the WTO
choice of formulas for market access negotiations
• regionalism and bilateralism in ASEAN
ANZUS free trade agreement
new criteria for optimum currency areas
trade policy and poverty in Asia
impact of agricultural trade reforms on poverty
recent behaviour of US imports.
The diversity of the topics covered by the contributors will appeal to those interested in the global trading system, and to development economists, particularly in Asia.
