Abstract: Abstract The remarkable expansion of developing countries’ trade in the period 1980–2010 and especially in the last two decades, as discussed in Chapter 1, was fuelled in part by their introduction of more outward looking trade regimes that involved less domestic protection, and in part by favourable developments in the access they enjoyed in developed-country markets. Institutional deficiencies and supply capacity and logistics constraints continued to plague many lower income countries and LDCs. But the spread of offshore production and the increased role of value chains played an important part in the growth of many countries’ trade. In this chapter I examine the evolution of developing countries’ policies that affected merchandise and services trade.1
