Abstract: Abstract Over the past half century both theoretical analysis and policy have focused rather heavily on the impact of international trade in the context of individual LDCs’ development efforts. With most of the developing countries emphasising a shift from a raw materials enclave to an industrial enclave, the focus of theory and policy has been on the relations between the import substituting industrial enclave and the rest of the world. Inevitably, the discussion, especially in the 1950s and 1960s, concentrated on the promotion of that enclave in interaction with the rest of the world, while agriculture and dispersed industry and services were neglected.
