South-south trade - winning from liberalisation

This paper by the Department of Foreign Affair's (DFAT) Economic Analytical Unit, looks at the existence of barriers to trade between developing countries (south-south). It also examines how the removal of these barriers has impacted on south-south trade flows, which now make up over 12% of global trade.

Issues covered include:

barriers to south-south trade
recent trends in developing country trade
benefits of reducing trade barriers between developing countries
policy implications.
