The Political Economy of Protection in Eleven Industrial Countries

Helen Hughes

Chapter 11 in Issues in World Trade Policy, 1986, pp 222-237 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract In the second half of the 1970s it was widely claimed that an upsurge of protectionist actions against developing countries was threatening their ability to maintain, let alone expand, their exports of manufactures to industrial countries (for example, Balassa, 1978). Arthur Lewis suggested that the developing countries should react by turning their backs on the industrial countries to trade mainly with each other.1
