Abstract

By OECD standards, Australia is a highly protectionist country.2 The relationship between this protection and the export prospects of the less developed countries (LDCs) has been the subject of extensive popular and professional debate in Australia, from two quite different directions. First, there has been growing recognition that Australia’s heavy protection of its manufacturing sector adversely affects the export prospects of the LDCs.3 This recognition has in part reflected a sympathetic response to demands from representatives of the LDCs for greater access to the markets of the more developed countries (MDCs) for LDC exports, and has in part been a by-product of the growing political importance to Australia of the developing countries of East and South East Asia. Reductions in Australian protection have thus been advocated partly for this reason.
