This trend has long-term implications for the effectiveness of trade policy as a tool for poverty reduction and growth. The book examines the record of RTAs in promoting trade and investment. It also explores policy measures that may help improve the RTAs' performance.--Publisher's description UR - http://www.loc.gov/catdir/toc/fy0605/2005284472.html ER -
