The Challenge to the South: Report

The Challenge to the South: Report

by SouthCommission (Author)

Synopsis

This report provides a general introduction to the problems of development as seen by the developing country. It has been produced by the South Commission and is a follow-up to the 1983 Brandt Commission report: Common Crisis: North-South Co-operation for World Recovery . While the latter was a bi-partisan report, the Commission now feels that the situation of the developing countries needs to be even more clearly stated since the tensions in the world economy during the 1980s have left the economies of the less developed countries in an even more vulnerable position than before.

Media Reviews
A valuable statement about development strategy, south-south and south-north relations. It is comprehensive, sensible, balanced, full of wisdom, and clearly written....Anyone who wants a lucid statement of what the Third World is all about should read this book. --Economic Development and Cultural
Change
A remarkable report...offers a vision of its future and outlines what needs to be done to achieve rapid and sustained neconomic growth in the context of people-oriented development. --U.N. Chronicle
The Report is a welcome departure from the publications...in which the problems of economic development in the developing countries are looked upon mainly from the perspectives of the developed countries....[It] has clearly brought out two things: the South has to depend mainly upon itself for its
development, and the North cannot simply be oblivious to what happens to the countries of the South. --Southern Economic Journal
Noteworthy for its stress on environmental aspects. --Finance & Development
This is a long overdue volume. Comprehensive, well-focused, and highly cognizant of the issues of development as seen by the people most directly involved. Will serve as an excellent supplement to the standard textbook in economic development. However, its greatest contribution will be realized if
read by people of the South. Hopefully it will be translated into as many languages of the South as possible. --Elias H. Tuma, University of California, Davis
