Making US Trade and Investment Policies Work for Global Development

Making US Trade and Investment Policies Work for Global Development. Robert Lawrence, , Paper, "In an interconnected world, sustainable and inclusive economic growth in less developed countries helps to secure US interests and values. Economic development nurtures peaceful societies, reduces refugee flows, ameliorates humanitarian crises, expands markets for US exports, and safeguards human rights and other core US aspirations. Well-designed trade and investment policies are indispensable tools to achieve these objectives."
