Zusammenfassung:Will poor countries benefit from agricultural trade liberalization? This question is of great importance now that efforts are being made to revamp the Doha Round and negotiations on European Partnership Agreements are entering their final phase. The Doha round was called a Development Round, but little was accomplished before the negotiations stalled in mid-2006. The assumption was that developing countries would gain from trade liberalization in agricultural commodities, but whether this is true for the 50 least developed countries (LDCs) remains hotly debated. Will gains from liberalization offset the erosion of the preferential access that LDCs currently have to OECD markets? Or will such gains be captured by middle-income countries with strong export potential in agriculture? Are LDC interests well represented by the Group of 21, which consist primarily of middle-income countries? How can LDCs respond to the continuation of trade-distorting policies of OECD countries? In this book, several experts on international trade and development address these and related questions.
