Reflections on the Political Economy of North-South Relations at the Turn of the Century
Globalization's effects on various countries and regions are intricately analyzed, focusing on trade patterns, industrialization, and financial dynamics like debt and aid. The discussion highlights four significant developments affecting North-South relations: the US deficit reduction efforts, the rise of regional trading blocs, the Uruguay Round of GATT, and the Soviet Union's collapse. Additionally, the exploration of alternative economic growth paradigms offers insights into potential future impacts on these international relationships.
