Despite the decision of the WTO members to launch a new round of negotiations at their Doha Ministerial in November 2001, developing countries continue to have very real concerns on a number of key issues. The successful completion of the Doha trade round and the realization of the goals of its Development Agenda represent a major challenge for both the developed and the developing world. The primary aim of this volume is to improve understanding of the issues, the objectives of policy and the options for trade policy reform particularly as they impact on the Asia-Pacific region. A team of authors from developing and developed countries in the Asia-Pacific identify ways in which progress might be made on the key negotiating topics, including market access and related issues in agriculture, non-agriculture merchandise and in trade in services.

This book concentrates on the role of technology and economic theory in government policy in promoting economic development and jobs. A conceptual framework was developed to organize and explore linkages between theory and policy. The elements making up the framework include "technological change," "economic theories," "forces influencing change," and "policy decisions." These framework elements were researched in the regions of Northern England and Scotland to see how the role of technology, in the process of economic change was articulated in the policy process of those regions to deal with structural change and job loss. The book also contains a bibliography, a comprehensive index, and endnote references.
