Hi,
What does it mean by "working paper" from the below text?
This working paper is one of a series of such case studies that examined the strategies and costs
of compliance of the various stakeholders in developing countries with international agro-food
standards.
Broadly speaking, it usually means written information on a topic which is intended to stimulate further discussion.
eg In simple terms, perhaps people sit around a table, read the working paper, and start to talk about the topic.
Best wishes, Clive
