While policies of generalized system of preferences(GSP)empowering and benefiting people are important means for building a harmonious society,some of the GSP policies are not consistent or even go contradictory to the national policy of family planning.This paper examines some of the GSP policies that run counter to the family planning policy,and discusses institutional determinants of the inconsistency.Lack of policy coordination mechanisms result in departmentalization of national obligations,and the major executing department of the national policy has not been adequately involved in formulating these GSP policies.Policy suggestions are discussed in the paper.
