"UNCTAD´s Least Developed Countries Report 2004, provides the first comprehensive empirical analysis of the relationship between trade and poverty in the least developed countries (LDCs).

Moreover, trade liberalization has actually worsened the trade balance in LDCs." ... read full story / add a comment
