What are the problems and issues in development? | The Brandt Report: A Summary

The Toronto Globe and Mail, on April 7, 1980, reported the story of a
conference to be hosted by Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau, that fall,
which would “reshape global structures.” The Summit, known as the
“North-South Dialogue,” which would “make recommendations on
ways of breaking through existing international political impasse in
North-South negotiations for global development,” was sponsored by
the Independent Commission on International Development Issues,
and was to include President Jimmy Carter, Newsweek and
Washington Post publisher Kathryn Graham, Robert McNamara,
former British Prime Minister Edward Heath, and West German
Chancelor Helmut Schmidt.
On January 14, 1977, Robert McNamara, President of the World Bank,
proposed the establishment of an international commission of
politicians and economists who would meet, not as government representatives, but independently to discuss “basic proposals on
which global agreement is both essential and possible.” Willy Brandt,
the former West German Chancellor was asked to chair the
commission.
On September 28, 1977, Brandt announced his intention to launch the
Independent Commission on International Development Issues, and
said that it “would not interfere with ongoing international
negotiations, and would make recommendations to help improve the
climate of North-South relations.” Brandt wanted the Commission,
consisting of 18 members, to represent many views, and to be
politically and regionally balanced, with a majority coming from
developed countries. Their initial meeting was in December, 1977.
There was two phases to what is more commonly referred to as
Brandt’s Commission. The funding for the first ($750,000) in 1980,
producing North-South: A Program for Survival, was provided by the
Dutch Government, as well as Denmark, Finland, India, Japan,
Republic of Korea, Norway, Saudi Arabia, Sweden, United Kingdom,
the Commission of the European Communities, OPEC Special Fund,
German Marshall Fund of the United States, the Ford Foundation,
Friedrich-Ebert and Friedrich-Naumann Foundations of the Federal
Republic of Germany, and the International Development Research
Center of Canada.
Subsequent funding was provided by the governments of Denmark,
the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, United Kingdom, and the OPEC
Special Fund.Show more
