By 1990 this share had fallen to 1.2 percent. Analysts generally believe that this 40-year decline is a result of either external protectionism in OECD markets or inappropriate domestic polices that reduced the region's ability to compete. This book analyzes and evaluates evidence concerning these influences. Chapters focus on the region's recent export performance, OECD tariff and nontariff barriers facing the region, transport costs for African exports, regional trade policies, and policy implications.
