Within development economics, there has always been a tendency to draw a distinction between the domestic and international aspects of the subject, with many economists arguing that the domestic context is of much greater interest than the international arena in which it exists. This is an extreme view which ignores the complex interplay between the internal and external environments. International Aspects of Economic Development examines important aspects of economic development--debt, energy, environment, industrialization, trade, and aid-and shows that these are problems that cannot be viewed solely from one country's perspective, but must be viewed as part of an international system to gain the greatest understanding.
