This text asks the question, what new directions will development take in the next century? A group of experts debated this question in 1996. Their views of the emerging consensus are presented in this collection of essays. The authors give special attention to countries in Latin America and East Asia. Analyzing growth of certain East Asian economies, they ask what can be emulated: State-engineered industrial policies? An export push? Better initial income distribution? Fiscal incentives to promote corporate growth? The region's succesful land reform efforts, or the commitment to better education? While agreeing that equity is a major determinant of economic success, they differ regarding how to achieve it. It is recognized that emerging economies should continue to pursue fundamental goals: macroeconomic stability, savings, openness, and investment in human resources. Other issues discussed include the pace of commercial and financial liberalization, efforts to achieve maximum employment and greater income equity, and the appropriate role of the state. Contributors include Irma Adelman, Lourdes Arizpe, Nancy Birdsall, Albert Fishlow, Enrique Iglesias, Lawrence Klein, Gustav Ranis, Gert Rosenthal, Eisuke Sakakibara, Amartya Sen, Ajit Singh, John Williamson and James Wolfensonn.
