Review:

`The Global Development Network encourages policy-relevant research from developing countries. This volume assembles some results of this important work, focused here on the influence of policy on foreign trade, migration, and investment and of their influence in turn on growth and poverty in developing countries. Analysis of these influences on particular countries is an essential complement to the large-scale cross-country studies that have become so fashionable. Indeed, this detailed work casts doubt on the generality of some conventional wisdom, although not on the proposition that developing countries can gain significantly from engagement with the world economy. A most useful addition to the policy-relevant literature on developing countries.' -- Richard N. Cooper, Harvard University, US
