Summary: This book examines development, the international economic order, and commodity agreements with specific reference to proposals for the United Nations Committee on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) ten core commodities and basic food grains. The first two chapters discuss the nature of development goals, analysis of the development process, the role of international trade in that process, and events that led to the call for new international economic order. The rest of the book focused on the analysis of the UNCTAD integrated commodity programme that is key to that call. Three basic models of analysis are used: simple economic theory; examination of historical experiences; and simulation of what would happen if the proposed agreements were implemented, given estimated dynamic models of the relevant international markets.
