Abstract

“Policy makers will face great pressure to subsidize, or failing that, to protect the manufacturing sectors under threat. It would be a critical mistake to yield to this pressure…. For the developing countries, being squeezed out of their export markets would stymie their growth potential. Such a setback would expose the vulnerability of new democracies in Eastern Europe” (Brown and Julius 1993).
