A result of an initiative by Professor Kaushik Basu in his capacity as member of the Expert Group of Development Issues (EGDI) sponsored by the Swedish Foreign Ministry, the contributions are based on discussions at a seminar held in Stockholm in August 2001. Compiling the best research in the field, this book provides a solid basis for policy decisions, while also serving as a challenging text for students in trade, development, and labor economics.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eAnalyzes the economic implications and history of international labor standards.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eProductively furthers the debate about intervening with international labor standardsStems from a seminar organized through the Expert Group on Development Issues (EGDI), sponsored by the Swedish Ministry of Foreign Affairs.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e  \u003cb\u003eKaushik Basu\u003c\/b\u003e is Professor of Economics and Carl Marks Professor of International Studies in the Economics Department at Cornell University.
