evolution over time of their commercial policies as they affect developing countries. After synthesizing material presented in the chapters that follow, Helleiner discusses contemporary theories of international trade and relevant work on economic adjustment in small countries. Especially with regard to their trade policies, Helleiner cogently notes in summary, the five countries have not noticeably deviated from behavioural norms apparent across the OECD (28). Moreover, they have in recent years fully participated in a broad movement toward protectionism with respect to those economic sectors of most importance to developing countries. The five case study chapters provide a wealth of detailed information couched in essentially descriptive surveys of current economic literature on each of the national policy contexts. Jaleel Ahmad writes on Canada, Roland Rasmussen on Demark, Loet B. M. Mennes and Jacob Kol on the Netherlands, Valter Angell on Norway and Magnus Blomstrom on Sweden. All concentrate on the trade dimension, and only Rasmussen, Angell and Blomstrom provide systematic treatments of analogous investment policies. Somewhat surprisingly, the authors devote little attention to the variables underlying recent policy shifts, although much of the data presented is highly suggestive in this regard. Only Ahmad and Rasmussen briefly introduce economic research on the determinants of protectionist policies. In view of the evidence presented in these case studies, Pratt concludes in the introductory volume to this series that" while humane internationalism had a major impact on aid policies in each of these countries, it had no significant influence on trade and investment policies in any of them" (Cranford Pratt [ed.], Internationalism under Strain [Toronto: University of Toronto Press, 1989], 12). But the questions of why this should be so in political terms, and what social and political changes might promote policy reform remain open. The Other Side of International Development Policy provides a substantial foundation for future studies of the politics of commercial policy development. It also provides a fine demonstration of the utility of comparative analysis in addressing those important questions. Political scientists concerned about the contemporary retreat from internationalism, in both its humane and its liberal variations, would do well to take up the challenge posed in this seminal volume and series.
