Abstract
The first part of this article gives a brief overview of the main problems facing the developing countries in the present

international trading system, and reviews the debate on import substitution vs. export promotion. Towards this background

the main part of the article discusses South-South co-operation as an alternative or complementary development strategy.

Global South-South co-operation and collective self-reliance is largely dismissed as an ideologically motivated policy

recommendation, overlooking the large number of conflicting interests among developing countries. The areas of joint

interest are greater at regional or subregional levels, and a number of South-South integration schemes have been signed

during the last decade. There are several potential gains associated with these integration processes, but substantial

economic and political barriers have to be overcome. When geographically and politically possible, North-South integration

schemes may have larger advantages than pure South-South arrangements.
