Caf Dowlah is Professor of Economics at the City University of New York, USA.

This book provides an in-depth and up-to-date scholarly analysis of all three trade sectors-agriculture, T&C and cross-border labor mobility-with a penetrating scrutiny of historical backgrounds and developments, crosscurrents of interests and perspectives of both developed and developing countries, and evolving trade patterns and potentials in a more liberalized and globalized world economy. The book also identifies critical economic issues and options for less developed countries in the WTO negotiations for further liberalization of agriculture, T&C, and cross-border labor mobility. This volume will be an important point of reference for students, scholars, and practitioners of international trade, economic development, development economics, and WTO-related issues.
