"WTO Negotiations and Agricultural Trade Liberalization arises from a joint project between the Food and Resource Economics Institute in Denmark and the International Food Policy Research Institute in Washington. It analyses the effects of developed countries' agricultural policies on developing countries. The project addressed the main issues raised by groups debating trade and development issues (which include developing countries' governments, politicians, farmers' organizations, NGOs, trade specialists and development specialists) by applying quantitative techniques. The main focus is on food security, poverty and other topics such as multifunctionality, biotechnology and regional agreements, as an input to policy reform within the World Trade Organization (WTO) trade negotiations. The results have been presented in a way that is usable by interested parties in developing countries. This book will be of significant interest to those researching and working in agricultural economics, development studies and law."--Jacket.
