Abstract:

For almost six years, the Reagan Administration has been trying to turn UNCTAD into an open forum where all approaches to development are examined and tested. Next month's meeting of the Trade and Development Board and next spring's UNCTAD VI1 will test how well the Administration's strategy has been working. If UNCTAD VI1 turns into a mere replay of its previous conferences, the Administration should reassess U.S. strategy and considering disassociating itself from UNCTAD .
