Abstract:This book focuses on United States' trade with developing countries, including Subsaharan Africa. It also raises issues regarding labour rights, environment protection and intellectual property rights that have become fixtures on the U.S. trade agenda. The book also describes trade capacity building and discusses the history of trade capacity building (TCB) in foreign assistance. There is also a discussion of legislation affecting TCB, including appropriations and legislative restrictions on foreign assistance.

Cooper); U.S. trade and investment relationship with Sub-Saharan Africa: the African Growth and Opportunity Act and beyond (Danielle Langton); Millennium Challenge account (Curt Tarnoff); World Trade Organization negotiations: the Doha Development Agenda (Ian F.
