DESCRIPTION
ABSTRACT:
The international trading system has come under strain in recent years. The 1980s have witnessed a strong drift toward protectionism in industrial countries, though markets for manufactures in these countries remain relatively open. This has occurred against the background of the deceleration of growth of both world trade and output compared with earlier decades, as well as a further narrowing of the margin by which growth of trade has exceeded that of output.
