内容説明
Much of the funding for Oxfam's overseas programme is directed at projects which are attempting to alleviate poverty that has arisen, directly or indirectly, from the developing world's dependence on primary commodities. This book explores the extent to which developing countries are dependent upon primary commodities, and the devastating impact that a sudden fall in prices on the international market can have on the lives of individual producers. It also looks at the underlying causes of these price swings and shows how efforts to stabilize them, through mechanisms such as International Commodity Agreements have proved largely unsuccessful. Illustrated with case studies from Oxfam's work overseas, this book ends by looking at some alternative models for a fairer world trading system. It concludes that while there is much to learn from alternative trade, the real challenge is to move fair trade from the margins to the mainstream. Only then will trade become less of a trap for poor Third World producers and more of a vehicle for development.
