Publisher's Synopsis

Both the intentions of the EC and the impact of the Community's actions upon other countries have been played down by the Commission. This volume examines the effects of European integration outside Europe.;After chapters on EC external policy and the means by which it has an impact on the Third World countries, successive chapters look at the US, Japan, ASEAN, Australia and New Zealand. Each chapter focuses on different aspects of the impact, including trade and trade relations and direct investment.
