and Blandine

An examination of how development
ideas were created, developed, questioned, modified, and implemented
within the world's main regions, as seen through the lens of the UN's
regional commissions. This book, edited by one of the project's directors,
will examine:
- The origins of the idea of regional cooperation and
the role of the UN.
- Ideas and concepts that have emerged from the regional
commissions in the beginning years including the contributions
of some of the early executive secretaries, such as Gunnar Myrdal,
Robert Gardner, and Raúl Prebisch
- How different levels of development trade opportunities
in Latin America or debt in Africa or the break-up of the socialist
bloc in Europe have led to different perspectives on priorities among
and efficacy of various policy measures.
- How regional, sub-regional, and South-South cooperation
have been viewed differently across regions.
