The starting point of Paul Streeten's book is the dilemma, faced by policy makers in many developing countries: should the price of food be high, in order to stimulate production, or low, in order to prevent poor food buyers from starving? The author goes on to discuss the role of prices in the light of these and other objectives. 'It is the work of one of our wisest scholars on what I consider to be the key policy issue for economic development in the 1980s...this provocative essay will be required reading for anyone working on agricultural price policy.' C.Peter Timmer 'It provides solid and practical guidance to scholars and decision-makers. It is lucid, balanced and, above all, useful.' Robert Klitgaard 'Paul Streeten is well known for his gift of explaining the pros and cons of difficult policy issues in a clear, simple and realistic way, appealing to policy-makers, students and the wider development community, as well as to academic colleagues. This gift is fully displayed in his new book, and readers are bound to emerge with a better awareness of the conflicts and policy reforms which are involved.' H.W.Singer - Inbunden, Engelska, 1998

Toward a New Strategy for Development: A Rothko Chapel Colloquium is a collection of papers commissioned by the Rothko Chapel and presented at a colloquium held in Houston, Texas on February 3-5, 1977. The colloquium provided a forum for discussing the need for a new strategy for development, with emphasis on needs and programs from the perspectives of the developed countries at the center of the world''s economic system and of the developing countries at its periphery, and from the standpoint of different disciplines. Comprised of 10 chapters, this book begins with an introduction to Marxism and its congruence with other neoclassical doctrines such as the Chicago School, followed by a discussion on development economics as well as the conditions that gave rise to the rapidly growing interest in development. The next chapter traces the origins and history of one major body of Latin American ideas on development since the early 1950s: the United Nation''s Economic Commission for Latin America. Subsequent chapters explore internal issues of development within countries, with emphasis on urban and rural bias as well as factors that influence regional development policy; the postwar economic experience of the Third World; and the reactions of developed countries to calls for a new international economic order. This monograph will be of interest to economists and sociologists. - Häftad, Engelska, 1971

In recent years a certain amount of disillusion with the Commonwealth has been expressed in Britain and elsewhere. This has arisen more from somewhat ill-informed Press criticism rather than from the British public itself. Britain's error in the Commonwealth seems to have been its natural inclination to be on top which has been difficult to reconcile with its lesser status in world power politics today. However, the necessity of solving world problems on a global rather than a regional scale, could perhaps lead to the strengthening of the Commonwealth and Britain's assumption of a leading role within the Association. This book consists of a collection of essays, originally prepared for a seminar at Marlborough House in May 1969 -- but which has since been revised considerably and brought up-to-date. The contributors are eminent specialists from several Commonwealth countries who discuss the various aspects of the Commonwealth Association from a world-wide viewpoint. They explore the various ways of enhancing internal Commonwealth relations from the point of view of international co-operation, in the fields of trade, capital, manpower resources and administration -- in particular such crucial topics as the effect upon the Commonwealth of Britain's application the join the Common Market, the role of sterling as a world currency and the effect of Soviet sea-power on Britain's decision to sell arms to South Africa. These essays do not set out to solve the Commonwealth problems but offer discussions and ideas in a wide context. Some of these ideas may be used by Government and others may require far deeper investigation. However, the aim is to present a comprehensive and well-informed study of many aspects of the Commonwealth Association in relation to world-wide politics. This book will appeal to all those studying or working in international politics, world relations and current affairs. It is a well presented, detailed and extremely informative survey of the role of the Commonwealth Association in world politics today. - E-bokPDF, Engelska, 1971
