Trade and Development Report 2007 : Global Partnership and National Policies for Development

"The Trade and Development Report 2006" offers relevant ideas and general principles for designing macroeconomic, sectoral and trade policies that can help developing countries to succeed in today's global economic environment.

Particular attention is given to policies that support the creative forces of markets and the entrepreneurial dimension of investment.

The Report also argues that a global partnership for development will be incomplete without an effective system of global economic governance.

Such a system should take into account the specific needs of developing countries.

At the same time it should ensure the right balance between sovereignty in national economic policy-making on the one hand, and multilateral disciplines and collective governance on the other.
