520			_aThe 1980s have been a period of unprecedented crisis for many Third World countries. Commodity prices and export earnings have fallen as interest rates and debt levels rose. Economic growth has declined generally and in certain cases, particularly in Latin America and Africa, become negative. Inevitably, these problems have called donors' aid policies and recipients' development policies into question. Imaginative new ideas are necessary if this is not to become a "lost decade" for development in all regions. At the beginning of 1987 the OECD Development Centre hosted a seminar to discuss alternative development strategies in the light of recent experience. This volume contains the reflections of some of the leading thinkers and practitioners in this field who took part in the debates.
