This second volume from the United Nations Intellectual History Project                  surveys the history of the UN's regional commissions and the ideas they have                  developed over the last 40 years. Each essay is devoted to one of the five regional                  commissions -- Europe, Asia and the Far East, Latin America, Africa, and Western                  Asia -- and how it has approached its mission of assessing the condition of regional                  economies and making prognoses about future conditions. The essays describe how each                  commission has added local perspectives to global debates over economic development                  and brought an authentic regional voice to the UN.Contributors                  are Adebayo Adedeji, Yves Berthelot, Leelananda de Silva, Blandine Destremau, Paul                  Rayment, and Gert Rosenthal.
