ABSTRACT
In contrast to the four countries discussed so far, where trade restrictions were either an element in formulating trade strategies or a recently perceived obstacle, in Mauritius and Jamaica they are a dominant feature of discussion and strategy for exporters and officials, and in Bangladesh, for exporters. The contrast in awareness of current issues and negotiations and information about the country’s own position is striking. Of the three, the Mauritian economy and its development are the most completely tied to the past and present trade policies of the major industrial countries.
