Non-economic dimensions to the long-term economic prospects of the OECS countries : draft OECS St John'sAG 1987 Identifies characteristics which distinguish OECS states from other third world states viz. dependence on foreign trade; range of resources and local skills; diseconomies of small scale in the provision of infrastructural services. Suggests that as a medium-term strategy, the OECS countries should focus on building alliances with strategic countries both industrial and developing in UN fora. Emphasizes the need for intra-OECS trade through progressive liberalization and the systematic development of collaborative mechanisms within the subregion. 3/7/00 M2LMGR M S989 14807 14807 0 0 0 0 CRCM CRCM 2023-05-04 0 01.04.03 S989 0000000008821 2023-05-04 00:00:00 2023-05-04 M
