The European Community and the Developing Countries

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.
