Abstract
This essay reviews and interprets recent analyses of the policy of industrial countries in response to increasing imports from developing countries. Industrial country policy has been caught between the sometimes conflicting objectives of economic security for each individual and economic efficiency, or growth. Policies which have ignored this basic trade-off have not been successful in achieving either objective.
