The rise of the New Protectionism gravely prejudices Third World export prospects. The Tokyo Round of GATT has done little to halt the erosion of access. Historic peripheral economy strategies toward and in GATT seem ill suited to combatting the New International Economic Disorder. A series of suggestions is made for Third World trade negotiation initiatives. Many are of value to industrialised capitalist economies as well—the rise of the New Protectionism and New International Economic Disorder is a negative sum scenario which cars, in principle, be halted. Tactics may matter.
