by Palgrave Macmillan UK, Martin Ravallion, Dominique van de Walle ...

Series series Equity and development
This book is a case study of Vietnam's efforts to fight poverty using market-oriented land reforms. In the 1980s and 1990s, the country undertook major institutional reforms, and an impressive reduction in poverty followed. But what role did the reforms play?

Trade Preference Erosion

Measurement and Policy Response

by Palgrave Macmillan UK ...

The Experience of Zambia

by Palgrave Macmillan UK ...

Series series Trade and Development
Some see trade in services as irrelevant to the development agenda for least developed countries (LDCs). Others see few benefits from past market openings by LDCs. This book debunks both views. It finds that serious imperfections in Zambia's reform of services trade deprived the country of significant benefits and diminished faith in liberalization. What is to be done? Move aggressively and ... Read more
