Abstract

THE FRAMEWORK
The problem of primary commodities, as related vvith international trade, vvas, at times, the majör issue vvhich predominated international forea on the so-called "New International
Economic Order" (NIEO) in the second half of the 1970s. As
the NIEO controversy developed away from a confrontational
route into a time -consuming bargaining process, certain potentially explosive demands of the Third World on commodities
receded into the background, and the vvhole set of problems vvas
reduced into the ways and means of securing price stability for
a number of commodities, vvith a Common Fund as the institutional framevvork to realise this objeetive.
