“…Even there is a marked difference between developing countries and this is most acute in African countries. Oskam et al (2004), provides evidence that "in which direction and to what extent trade policy may affect the development of LFAs (Less-Favored Areas). The literature on modern trade and growth theory spells out conditions of sustained economic growth that are, nearly by definition, opposite to the conditions that hold for LFAs.…”

In this paper, using LSDV approach to testing the effects of accession to GATT/WTO in a panel of developed and developing countries, we find that accession, on average has positive effects on the GDP and export of developed countries and has negative impact on GDP of many developing countries with the negative effects on export for a number of them. Especially in Africa this negative effects is remarkable and this results, while shed some light on the conflicts in the literature on links between trade policy and growth, point to the challenges confront many countries in the process of globalization. It is shown that for 31 out of 46 developing countries in the sample the effects of membership on GDP are negative while only for 15 out of 46 the impact on export is negative.

“…Studies concerning developing-country institutions suggest that long-term growth strategies and trade gains for less-favoured areas require the development of new institutions and infrastructure (Oskam et al, 2004). It may increase the welfare of some groups while hurting other groups.…”

“…Since most developing countries lack the necessary institutions and mechanisms required for monitoring and controlling liberalization, certain international organizations should participate and encourage such programmes by strengthening structural reforms and transparency in these countries. Studies concerning developing-country institutions suggest that long-term growth strategies and trade gains for less-favoured areas require the development of new institutions and infrastructure (Oskam et al, 2004). Liberalized trade could reduce conflict between states.…”

Liberalization–Goals Trade-Offs

Equity, efficiency, security and liberty are the four main policy goals in a society. This paper examines the current trade-offs of these goals with agricultural trade liberalization for developing countries. Trade liberalization may cause contradictory results for developing countries. While trade liberalization may improve the welfare of a country, the distribution of income in that country may deteriorate. Efficiency, on the other hand, is another concept that depends not only on who defines it, but also on how it is defined. Liberalized trade may increase the efficient use of resources; however, it may also harm sustainability. Free trade may pave the way for liberty; however, new regional trading blocs may curtail the free choice of states, causing greater interdependence. Trade data over recent years show a decreasing share of total trade in developing countries despite an increase in the absolute value. Thus, liberalized trade in agriculture could help developing countries to achieve these universal goals if it were accompanied by decisive reforms and supported by international consciousness.

Η στροφή προς την ‘ποιότητα’ η οποία χαρακτηρίζει τον αγρο-διατροφικό κλάδο και την ύπαιθρο θεωρείται πως μπορεί να αποτελέσει μία αναπτυξιακή λύση για περιθωριοποιημένες γεωργικά περιοχές οι οποίες δεν μπόρεσαν να ακολουθήσουν το μοντέλο της εντατικής γεωργίας. Η Διατριβή αυτή εξετάζει την συνεισφορά των ιδιότυπων αγρο-διατροφικών προϊόντων στην βιώσιμη ανάπτυξη των Λιγότερο Ευνοημένων Περιοχών εστιάζοντας στο νησιωτικό χώρο.
