This report is dedicated to that agenda. It begins with a review of global prospects and ways globalization links the fates of industrial and developing countries. The report then considers issues in four broad areas that are particularly important to developing countries: merchandise trade, services, transport, and intellectual property rights. A final chapter summarizes the forward-looking policy agenda, and assesses the potential impact of further global integration and more rapid growth for the standards of living in poor countries everywhere.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOAGREEMENT ON TRADEAGRICULTURAL COMMODITIESAGRICULTURAL PRODUCTIONAGRICULTUREANTIDUMPINGANTIDUMPING ACTIONSANTITRUST ENFORCEMENTBARRIERS TO ENTRYBORDER PROTECTIONBUDGET DEFICITSCAPITAL FLOWSCAPITAL MARKETCARTELSCOMMODITY EXPORTERSCOMPARATIVE ADVANTAGECOMPETITION DISCIPLINESCOMPETITION POLICIESCOMPETITIVENESSCONCESSIONSCONSUMERSCOST SAVINGSCURRENT ACCOUNTCURRENT ACCOUNT DEFICITCUSTOMS CLEARANCEDEBTDEVELOPED COUNTRIESDEVELOPING COUNTRIESDEVELOPING COUNTRYDEVELOPMENT ASSISTANCEDEVELOPMENT ECONOMICSDEVELOPMENT GOALSDEVELOPMENT POLICIESDISCLOSUREDOMESTIC PRODUCTIONDUMPINGECONOMIC GROWTHECONOMIC PERFORMANCEECONOMIC POLICYECONOMISTSENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTIONEXPENDITURESEXPORT COSTSEXPORT INDUSTRIESEXPORT OPPORTUNITIESEXPORT PRICESEXPORT SHARESEXPORT SUBSIDIESEXPORT VOLUMESEXPORTSEXTERNAL DEBTEXTERNAL ENVIRONMENTFINANCIAL MARKETSFINANCIAL SECTORFINANCIAL SERVICESFOREIGN FIRMSFOREIGN INVESTMENTFOREIGN INVESTORSFOREIGN MARKETSFREE ACCESSFREE TRADEFULL TRADE LIBERALIZATIONGDPGDP PER CAPITAGLOBAL INTEGRATIONGLOBAL TRADEHIGH TARIFFSIMPORTSINCOMEINCOME DISTRIBUTIONINDUSTRIAL PRODUCTIONINFANT MORTALITYINSTITUTIONAL ARRANGEMENTSINSURANCEINTEREST RATEINTEREST RATESINTERNATIONAL LABOURINTERNATIONAL TRANSPORTLABOR MARKETLOW INCOMELOW-INCOME COUNTRIESMARITIME SHIPPINGMARKET ACCESSMARKET LIBERALIZATIONMARKET SHAREMONOPOLIESMORTALITYMULTILATERAL DISCIPLINESMULTILATERAL NEGOTIATIONSMULTILATERAL SYSTEMNATIONAL INCOMEOILOIL PRICESOPECOPEN MARKETSOPENNESSPATENTSPOLICY IMPLICATIONSPOOR COUNTRIESPOOR PEOPLEPOOR PERSONPOPULATION GROWTHPOSITIVE EFFECTSPOVERTY ANALYSISPOVERTY LINEPOVERTY REDUCTIONPREFERENTIAL ACCESSPRODUCERSPRODUCTIVITYPROPERTY RIGHTSPUBLIC HEALTHPUBLIC POLICIESPUBLIC SECTORQUOTASREFORMSREGIONAL INTEGRATIONRULES OF ORIGINSAFETY NETSSERVICE PROVIDERSSPECIALIZATIONSTRUCTURAL REFORMSTARIFF PREFERENCESTARIFF RATETECHNICAL ASSISTANCETECHNOLOGICAL PROGRESSTELECOMMUNICATIONSTRADETRADE BARRIERSTRADE EXPANSIONTRADE INTEGRATIONTRADE LIBERALIZATIONTRADE NEGOTIATIONSTRADE PATTERNSTRADE PERFORMANCETRADE POLICIESTRADE REFORMTRADE REFORMSTRADE RESTRICTIONSTRANSITION ECONOMIESTRANSPORT COSTSUNEMPLOYMENTURUGUAY ROUNDWAGESWELFARE GAINSWORLD TRADEWORLD TRADE ORGANIZATIONWorld Bank10.1596/0-8213-4996-1
