Economies in transition and developing countries: prospects for greater co-operation in trade and economic fields

Article Abstract:

The fall of communism and the rise of nationalism in Central and Eastern Europe have created a large number of new states that qualify as developing countries economically while they undergo this political transition. They have begun interacting with the industrialized countries accordingly, which may alter the manner in which the Globalized System of Trade Preferences operates. Other changes may involve the inclusion of these countries in GATT negotiations with other developing countries, expansion of the Group of 77 developing countries and greater cooperation among developing and industrialized nations.

The potential for an export-oriented growth strategy in Central Europe

Article Abstract:

The recession in Eastern Europe has the potential to be a short term one, lasting as few as two years, if the emphasis in economic development is on exports. The opportunity for growth in gross domestic output through trade liberalization exists for both East and West and could lead to greater growth than that possible with substantial economic aid. Not all existing industries may be able to compete and many will need to be restructured, but there will be some that can thrive. A policy founded on economic aid will fail without opening avenues of trade for Eastern European industries to compete in.

The US debate on trade negotiating authority between 1994 and 1999

Article Abstract:

Failure of the Clinton administration to obtain fast track authority from Congress will likely result in no major progress in negotiations at the 1999 Seattle Round of the World Trade Organization. As advocates for protectionist measures grow in numbers, fast track authority will be increasingly more difficult, though not impossible, to obtain.
