Summary: These four books are part of a seemingly unending stream on the prospects for the creation of a New International Economic Order (NIEO). Whilst it is widely agreed that the postwar economic order has irretrievably collapsed there is little agreement on the nature of its replacement. The breakdown of the Bretton Woods monetary system, higher oil prices, the energy crisis and deepening recession have led analysts and statesmen seriously to consider reform of the international economic system. In the debate on reform two central issues stand out, efficiency and equity. Some have tried to cast them as polar opposites whilst others have argued that they must be the central considerations in any remoulding of the global economy. The developing countries have campaigned vigorously for the creation of a new order which places as much, if not greater, stress on equity than efficiency. That is, they demand that any new set of rules or institutions should be so designed that a frontal attack on world poverty should be launched. These four books in rather different ways are concerned with the transition to a NIEO. The book has two parts: part 1 considers the objectives of the new economic order concerning 25 key issues of the world economy -- while part 2 examines the position of some states and groups of states on the issues.

These four books are part of a seemingly unending stream on the prospects for the creation of a New International Economic Order (NIEO). Whilst it is widely agreed that the postwar economic order has irretrievably collapsed there is little agreement on the nature of its replacement. The breakdown of the Bretton Woods monetary system, higher oil prices, the energy crisis and deepening recession have led analysts and
statesmen seriously to consider reform of the international economic system. In the debate on reform two central issues stand out, efficiency and equity. Some have tried to
cast them as polar opposites whilst others have argued that they must be the central considerations in any remoulding of the global economy. The developing countries have campaigned vigorously for the creation of a new order which places as much, if not greater, stress on equity than efficiency. That is, they demand that any new set of rules or institutions should be so designed that a frontal attack on world poverty should be
launched. These four books in rather different ways are concerned with the transition to a NIEO.
The book has two parts: part 1 considers the objectives of the new economic order concerning 25 key issues of the world economy --
while part 2 examines the position of some states and groups of states on the issues.
