| Abstract: | In the following the author proposes to argue why many of the demands, emanating from the rich countries, for imposing "higher" environmental and labour standards on the poor countries as preconditions for trade liberalisation, ought to be rejected. Since practical policymaking cannot ignore political realities while statesmanship simultaneously requires that these realities must be confronted creatively and in a principled way, the author suggests alternative ways in which these demands can be channeled into policy proposals that are better crafted and more consonant with the principles of free trade. |
