Chapter Essay 19 in Change and Challenge in the World Economy, 1985, pp 427-447 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Much has been said in recent years about growing industrial protectionism in the developed countries, but little effort has been made to assess quantitatively the increases in protection that have actually occurred. This essay will provide estimates for the major developed countries (the United States, the European Common Market, and Japan) on changes in their tariff and non-tariff barriers on manufactured imports in general and on imports from the developing countries in particular. The protection of agricultural products is, however, excluded from the preview of the essay.
