About this Item

Sprache: Deutsch Broschur gr. 8;; 425 Seiten; Bibliotheksstempel auf Rückseite Haupttitel, sonst wohlerhaltenes Buch; Tabellen; - 1. Following an initiative by the Government of Japan in May 1975, a major new research project was established within the framework of the OECD on 1st January, 1976, to study the future development of advanced industrial societies in harmony with that of developing countries (1). The project, now referred to as INTERFUTURES, ran for a period of three years to 31st December, 1978. 2. The primary purpose of the project, as laid down at the outset by the OECD Council, was: to provide OECD Member Governments with an assessment of alternative patterns of longer-term world economic development in order to clarify their implications for the strategic policy choices open to them in the management of their own economies, in relationships among them, and in their relationships with developing countries . 3. The report is based on the research of an international team which was specially constituted for this purpose under the leadership of Professor Jacques Lesourne, the final drafting and editing having been done by a reduced project-team consisting of Messrs. J. Lesourne, W. Michalski, M. Sakamoto, D. Norse, D. Malkin and C. Comeliau. Throughout the projects life, the team received comments and observations from an Advisory Panel of eminent personalities, and from a Steering Committee in which all contributing governments were represented(2). The views expressed in the Report, however, are those of the Project team and should not be attributed to either Member Governments or to the Organisation. In view of the interest of the research, I have deemed it useful to publish the Report under my own responsibility. - - -.
