Abstract

As the Uruguay Round of GATT trade negotiations got under way, one of the intriguing questions was whether the least developed countries, many of them from Africa, could expect significant benefits. A common view was that the previous GATT negotiations had not led to any significant improvement in the position of the developing, non-industrialized primary exporters and that even the special or preferential concessions granted to the developing countries focused more on manufactured goods which were of little interest to the majority of African countries whose manufacturing sectors were in embryonic stages of development. With the failure of the much-publicized NIEO to achieve much in the last decade, African countries, through the OAU, were increasingly thinking more about strengthening regional and South-South trade.
