Synopsis

Do accelerating trade and foreign direct investment--experimented by most developing countries in the 1990s--imply a positive, negative, or neutral impact in terms of employment, income inequality and poverty alleviation? This book provides some empirically-tested answers to this question using an open-minded, unconventional economic approach and deriving original policy implications.
