A New International Economic Order

Regular price Rs. 110.00

The genesis of the New International Economic Order proposal is rooted in increasing global economic disparities between the rich developed and poor developing nations of the world. The post-war economic arrangements have perpetuated and even widened economic inequality between industrially advanced and economically backward developing nations of the world. This sparked off serious debates and controversies among the developed and the developing nations of the world. The developing nations insist on key structural reforms in all major areas of international economic set up. The international economic development issue thus has been highly politicised and places demands for appropriate reorientation and additional rules for accelerating economic growth of under-developed countries. The present study endeavours to highlights historical background of the emergence of New International Economic Order proposal. It dissects main defects of post war economic arrangements, analyses various reform proposals as incorporated in NIEO programme and surveys the reforms so far achieved in the arenas of international trade, monetary and financial system, international resource transfer and in respect of regulation of multinational corporations and technology trade. The study outlines major impediments obstructing fruitful international negotiations on NIEO. Finally, it sums up the progress so far achieved in respect of implementation of NIEO proposals and highlights the causes for slow and tardy progress achieved in respect of implementation of NIEO proposals and identifies certain areas of mutual interest where immediate measures must be taken for the benefits of both prosperous and poor workers.
