Foreword
In the mid-1950s Sub-Saharan Africa accounted for 3.1 percent of global exports. By 1990 this share had fallen to 1.2 percent. Some analysts believe that external protection in OECD markets was a contributing factor. If so, the solution to Africa's problems requires liberalization of these trade barriers. Another view is that Africa's marginalization was due primarily to inappropriate domestic policies that reduced the region's ability to compete. If true, changes in Africa's own policies are required. The Development Economics Vice Presidency of the World Bank is vitally concerned with this question since the accurate identification of the factors contributing to Africa's diminished role in world trade is crucial to the formulation and implementation of corrective policy proposals.
