Participation in the international trade regime and how this may be affected by the economic reforms; implications of the reforms for economic relations with developing countries and development assistance performance; participation in international monetary and financial regimes and how this may be affected by economic reform; and the impact of economic reform on regional integration schemes are all analysed in depth.
