This chapter discusses many key issues for developing countries are quite different than those of their developed counterparts. Three cases illustrate this: wood trade and environmental protection in Malaysia, hazardous waste imports into Nigeria, and the decline of Bali due to excessive tourism. The guest is Bernard Hoekman of the World Bank who discusses some of the particular problems developing countries face in the effort to compete in the international trading system. The case describes the trade in art, with a particular focus on Haitian art, and the cultural and economic issues related to it.
