ABSTRACT

This volume began with two principal concerns. One was to determine whether the North-South negotiations are an effective medium for finding solutions to the global problems of food, population, energy, poverty, development, environment, and so forth, all of which are of profound importance to the future of the world as a whole. Second was to determine whether the U.S. policy in this process has been supportive of U.S. interests. The conclusions that can be reached follow.
