The ‘futures’ debate in the United Nations
Author: Philippe de SeynesIn recent years the future of mankind has become the object of intense and lively controversy which has led to the construction of a number of ‘scenarios of the unacceptable’ and the proposition of various strategies for avoiding them. Of all the reports produced, Limits to Growth has had the widest circulation, notably contributing to the consolidation of the ‘futures movement’ by its dramatic emphasis on the perils threatening the ‘carrying capacity of the planet’. But the United Nations too has had different scenarios and strategies of its own, which it has put forward in such resolutions as those on the International Development Strategy and the New International Economic Order, directed towards the creation of a better society.

Reflections on the conceptual framework of Central American economic integration
Authors: Isaac Cohen Orantes and Gert RosenthalThe report of the tenth session of the Central American Economic Co-operation Committee maintains that the integration process admits, and today requires, a multiplicity of approaches in which past achievements and the basic and permanent orientations that are deep-rooted in the best integrationist tradition are appropriately combined with innovative action. In the present article an attempt is made to clarify the possible scope and significance of this assertion.

Development and educational policy in Latin America
Author: Aldo SolariFrom the end of the Second World War to the close of the 1960s, the idea prevailed in Latin America that educational development was an indispensable requisite for the successful promotion of economic growth and distributive justice. Although opinions differed as to the level that should be given priority —primary, secondary or higher— all agreed that through the expansion of the formal education system a state of affairs would be reached that resembled the picture presented by the developed countries which served as models.

Exports in the new world environment: The case of Latin America
Author: Barend A. de VriesExports have played a crucial role in the economic growth of Latin America. The countries that fared best in the recent crisis were those which had succeeded in diversifying their domestic economies and their exports —on the basis of earlier industrialization efforts— and which continued to encourage their export trade. Similarly, if they are to cope successfully with the complications of the present and future external position, deriving from the higher cost of oil, increased external indebtedness, and the pressure on available capital resources, it will be indispensable for exports to keep up or regain their momentum.

Population and the labour force in Latin America: Some simulation exercises
Author: Charles RollinsIn Latin America due importance has not been attached to the problems deriving from population growth, and although it is not a matter of promoting a new malthusianism, attention should be drawn to the challenges with which the countries of the region will be faced if current population trends continue in the next few decades. Suffice it to point out that should this happen, Latin America would have more than 700 million inhabitants by the end of the century and over 6 000 million in a hundred years’ time; that is, its population would be 20 times as big as at present, and one and half times as large as the entire population of the world today.
