External Constraints and Endogenous Development: Reflections on the Brazilian Case

Ignacy Sachs

Chapter 3 in Policies for Development, 1988, pp 48-59 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract UNCTAD was founded on the expectation that it would help to reshape international economic relations into a positive-sum game for all the partners. In a world characterised by an extremely uneven distribution of economic power, a fairer distribution of gains from trade and financial flows would not be achieved by the free interplay of market forces, requiring a set of correcting institutional mechanisms, codes of conduct and mutually agreed policies. UNCTAD was the appropriate forum to prepare, negotiate and implement such measures.
