‘TRADE, NOT AID’

'Trade, Not Aid'A slogan that has been endorsed for long by developing countries in International Trade Negotiations; What is the impact of trade and is it the most important facet of globalization upon this group of countries?


Angelo Carlo Valsesia



Introduction
From the title of the essay as such we can hypothesize that the question that the essay pones is of Hegelian matrix: the thesis is constituted by the ‘Aid’, the antithesis is the ‘Trade’ instead. To say which one of them is the most beneficial is not an easy question, and probably it is not correct to put one above the other (as more important) too. What I will try to demonstrate is that ‘aid’ and ‘trade’ are both necessary – in different aspects – for developing countries.
