Pages 14-33 | Published online: 02 Apr 2009
 

Abstract

Raul Prebisch, Secretary-General of UNCTAD, signing the Final Act establishing UNCTAD in Palais des Nations, Geneva 16 June 1964 (top). A general view of the opening of UNCTAD V in Manila, May 1979 (below).

Growing debt and plummeting export earnings have placed many third world countries in a desperate situation.

Frederick Clairmonte looks at the background to this crisis with a critical emphasis on the role played by UNCTAD under the leadership of its first Secretary-General Raul Prebisch.

RMR welcomes contributions to the debate opened by Dr Clairmonte.
