Redistribution with Sloth – Britain’s Problem
Many if not most economic analyses of Britain's economic difficulties suggest that slow growth is at the heart of the problem-and an acceleration of growth the obvious cure. Past experience in Britain and in the Third World casts doubts on this. Except for the last three or four years, per capita growth rates in Britain since the war have been almost as fast or faster than at any time since the start of the industrial revolution. In terms of unem…
The United Nations and Business
In the last decade and a half there have been sustained efforts on the part of the United Nations to bring the business sector into formal arrangements for dialogue and cooperation and to codify United Nations policies vis?à?vis business in order to give the relationship a more structured footing. This article reviews some of the most prominent of those efforts. In particular, it evaluates the available evidence about the extent to which they are…

Unicef (United Nations Children's Fund)
This book provides an in-depth analysis of UNICEF’s development and operations, whilst exploring the significance of UNICEF’s achievements and the reasons behind them. UNICEF is one of the best known organizations of the United Nations system and the oldest of the UN’s development funds. It is also the part of the UN which consistently receives support from all countries round the world, including the United States. This book brings out the wider…
Western Pessimism, Asian Optimism
As of 2007 the world economy has been caught in the worst crisis since the 1930s. Yet after two years of only partly successful efforts to mobilize and coordinate global action of financial control and stimulus, ending with the G-20 meeting of March 2009, responsibility for corrective economic initiatives has essentially been left to individual countries, supported by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the European Union (EU). Moreover, su…

Milestones and Turning Points in Development Thinking
The 2010 UNCTAD LDC Report
Employment, Basic Needs and Human Development
This article reviews various strands of development policies such as employment and basic needs policies, structural adjustment policies, human rights and human development policies, as well as policies emanating from the so-called Washington Consensus leading to current globalization practices. It argues that the present global crisis presents an important opportunity for making major changes in the objectives, directions and operations of the i…
The MDGs in Historical Perspective
Some 50 goals have been set over the UN's life, from goals for education in 1960 to the MDGs agreed at the Millennium Summit in New York in 2000. Cynics have charged that UN goals have been proposed and agreed with little thought, and rarely achieved. Based on research conducted for the UN Intellectual History Project, this short article argues that in fact, there has always been widespread discussion before approving goals and more progress in i…
The “Third” United Nations
Analysts usually identify two United Nations, one composed of member states and a second composed of the secretariats. A third UN should also be recognized, composed of actors that are closely associated with the world organization but not formally part of it. This outside-insider UN includes nongovernmental organizations, academics, consultants, experts, independent commissions, and other groups of individuals. These informal networks often help…

The UN and Development Thinking and Practice
Over the 60 years of its existence, the UN has led the way in a large number of areas of economic and social development. It has made major and pioneering contributions—nationally and internationally—in the setting of development priorities, in analysing strategic issues, in developing a statistical system to quantify them and in the formulation of recommendations across a wide field of important policy matters. With the benefit of hindsight, one…
Economic and Social Thinking at the UN in Historical Perspective
This article begins to examine the history of economic and social ideas launched or nurtured by the United Nations (UN). In 1999, the United Nations Intellectual History Project was initiated, to analyse the UN as an intellectual actor, and to shed light on the role of the UN system in creating knowledge and in influencing international policy-making: this article is based on the first five books and the oral histories from that Project. The star…
Global Development Goals
This paper reviews experience since governments first began, through the United Nations, setting time-bound quantitative goals to serve as guidelines and benchmarks for national and international action and development assistance. It argues that, contrary to much opinion, many of these goals have had a major influence on subsequent action and many have been largely or considerably achieved. It discusses approaches to implementation adopted in the…

This article takes stock of recent progress in human development and poverty reduction, drawing on the 1996 Human Development Report. It presents a vision of human development and targets for the twenty-first century, to provide a frame within which we can all work in the years ahead, and identifies three specific actions for IPPNW to support
Human Development
Un Reform
Judged by the perspectives of 50 years, the UN system has had more influence and more successes than is often realized, especially in the economic and social arena. Priorities for future UN action in these areas have largely been set by the series of summits and other high level global conferences held over the last five years. These priorities should now be made a focus for country?by?country action, with the different UN agencies and organizati…

Dudley Seers (1920-1983)
Dudley Seers' posthumous book The Political Economy of Nationalism , 1983 misleadingly makes his views seem much less internationalist than they really were for most of his life. But it does provide the right framework for an evaluation of his lifetime professional contribution to development and development studies. His structuralist approach was deliberately interdisciplinary and country?specific; it never culminated in a definitive structural …

Malagasy Economics and Conservation
The Impact of World Recession on Children
From Speeches to Action
Stabilisation policy and practice were initially abstracted from what were seen as transitional costs and from their impact on poor and vulnerable people. In terms of policy pronouncements there has been dramatic change since 1985. Under various titles, ‘Adjustment With A Human Face’ and the ‘human dimension’ of economic recovery are now almost universally accepted in conceptual terms. But practice — as measured both by the type of priority data …

The Tyranny of Numbers
Throughout the world, numbers are increasingly used to guide acts of government - but not always for the better. In this volume, the author examines the facts and figures that have led to measures unhelpful or injurious to their intended beneficiaries. The Tyranny of Numbers offers a look at problems such as world hunger, the population explosion, the Third World debt crisis, and the poverty in South Africa, in which misdiagnoses have driven acti…
