Abstract

Over the next decade, the great challenge for the world economy will be learning how to manage the process of integrating the large number of economies in transition into the global system. Throughout the developing world, countries are transforming their economies by implementing far-reaching, outward-oriented policies. The world market is therefore the fulcrum by which these countries will elevate themselves out of poverty. A friendly global market will be essential to their prospects.
