This Convention provides that the O. E.C.D. shall promote policies designed: to achieve the highest sustainable economic growth and employment and a rising standard of living in Member countries, while maintaining financial stability, and thus to contribute to the world economy; to contribute to sound economic expansion in Member as well as non-member countries in the process of economic development; to contribute to the expansion of world trade on a multilateral, non-discriminatory basis in accordance with international obligations. The legal personality possessed by the Organisation for European Economic Co- operation continues in the O.E. C. D. which came into being on 30th September 1961. The members of O.E. C.D. are Austria, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, France, the Federal Republic of Germany, Greece, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, the United Kingdom and the United Slates. The Development Centre of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and De- velopment was established by decision of the 0. E.C.D. Council on 23rd October 1962. The purpose of the Centre is to bring together the knowledge and experience available in Member countries of both economic development and the formulation and execution of general policies of economic aid; to adapt such knowledge and experience to the actual needs of countries or regions in the process of development and to put the results at the disposal of the countries by appropriate means. The Centre has a special and autonomous position within the 0. E. C.D. which enables it to enjoy scientific independence in the execution of its task. Nevertheless, the Centre can draw upon the experience and knowledge available in the 0. E. C. D. in the de- velopment field. INTRODUCTION One of the statutory objectives of the 0.E.C.D. Development Centre is to promote closer co-operation between institutes dealing with problems of economic and social development. Realising that a deeper knowledge of the activities of different institutes facilitates such co-operation, the Centre now submits the 1968 edition of its Catalogue of Social and Economic Development Research Institutes and Programmes. Since the publication of the 1966 edition, the Development Centre has endeavoured to compile an increasingly complete inventory of research activities undertaken throughout the world. This catalogue provides particulars on some 125 institutes in 48 countries, of which 59 institutes are located in 34 countries in Asia, Africa, Latin America and the Middle East. This new edition contains not only up-to-date indications regarding institutes included in the previous edition, but also information concerning institutes which have not previously been included. It should be noted, however, that the texts concerning a number of institutes, that have not communicated the necessary changes, have only been revised when the Secretariat found more recent indications in available documentation. The majority of institutes, in addition to their research activities, also have training programmes, and are included in the 1968 edition of the Catalogue of Social and Economic Development Training Institutes and Programmes. It is for this reason that the training activities of institutes are described here in a condensed form: readers can refer to the Catalogue of Training Institutes for more detailed information. A list of articles, publications, documents and periodicals published by each institutes is given under the heading "Publications and Documents". Titles are given in the original language and refer to documents issued from 1966 onwards: for information on documents published before 1966, readers should consult the previous edition (1966) or contact the institute concerned. An analytical index of research projects undertaken by institutes is to be found on pages 397 to 411.It should be noted that in view of the difficulty of compiling an index solely from titles of projects, without knowledge of the content of studies, this classification is not always uniform and is presented both by sector and by subject.Nevertheless, it is hoped that this index will be useful to readers in helping them to quickly find studies undertaken in a particular field. It should, however, be noted that the index only includes current or recently completed research work and does nct cover studies which have been published in the form of articles, books, etc. Like other publications of the 0.E.C.D. Development Centre, this catalogue is published in French and in English. Far from any claim to being exhaustive, its purpose is to be a useful working aid for institutions and persons engaged in development research and in the execution of development programmes. The Development Centre wishes to convey a special word of thanks to heads of institutes whose willing response to its questionnaire has made the publication of this catalogue possible.

  • The Godesberg Programme and Its Aftermath
    Karim Fertikh The Godesberg Programme and its Aftermath A Socio-histoire of an Ideological Transformation in European Social De- mocracies Abstract: The Godesberg programme (1959) is considered a major shift in European social democratic ideology. This article explores its genesis and of- fers a history of both the written text and its subsequent uses. It does so by shedding light on the organizational constraints and the personal strategies of the players involved in the production of the text in the Social Democra- tic Party of Germany. The article considers the partisan milieu and its trans- formations after 1945 and in the aftermaths of 1968 as an important factor accounting for the making of the political myth of Bad Godesberg. To do so, it explores the historicity of the interpretations of the programme from the 1950s to the present day, and highlights the moments at which the meaning of Godesberg as a major shift in socialist history has become consolidated in Europe, focusing on the French Socialist Party. Keywords: Social Democracy, Godesberg Programme, socio-histoire, scienti- fication of politics, history of ideas In a recent TV show, “Baron noir,” the main character launches a rant about the “f***g Bad Godesberg” advocated by the Socialist Party candidate. That the 1950s programme should be mentioned before a primetime audience bears witness to the widespread dissemination of the phrase in French political culture. “Faire son Bad Godesberg” [literally, “doing one’s Bad Godesberg”] has become an idiomatic French phrase. It refers to a fundamental alteration in the core doctrinal values of a politi- cal party (especially social-democratic and socialist ones).

  • Bank Rate Policy Under the Interwar Gold Standard: a Dynamic Probit Model*
    TheEconomic Journal, 95 (September1985), 725-745 Printedin GreatBritain BANK RATE POLICY UNDER THE INTERWAR GOLD STANDARD: A DYNAMIC PROBIT MODEL* BarryEichengreen, Mark W. Watsonand Richard S. Grossman 'In truth, the gold standard is already a barbarous relic. All of us, from the Governor of the Bank of England downwards, are now primarily interested in preserving the stability of business, prices, and employment, and are not likely, when the choice is forced upon us, deliberately to sacrifice these to the outworn dogma, which had value once, of k3. I 7s. iod. per ounce.' J. M. KEYNES (I923), p. I72 The classical gold standard occupies an almost mystical position in the literature of international finance. In popular accounts the gold standard is portrayed as a remarkablydurable and efficient mechanismfor achieving price and exchange rate stability and for relieving balance of payments pressures. The system's resilience is attributed to the willingness of nationa) monetary authorities to refrainfrom impeding the international adjustmentprocess. When central banks intervenedin financial markets,it is said, they did so mechanically, obeying 'rules of the game' which dictated that they reinforce the impact on domestic money and credit of changing balance of payments conditions. Succeeding generations of economists and historians have sought to qualify this popular view. The recent contributionsof Bordo (I98I) and Cooper (i982) make a critical assessmentof extravagant claims concerning price and exchange rate stability under the classical gold standard. Other authors have extended the research of Bloomfield (I 959), Ford (I962) and Triffin (I964), who emphasised the special conditions that permitted the classical gold standard's smooth operation and cast doubt on the tendency of national monetary authorities to adhere faithfully to 'rules of the game." All too often, scant mention is made of the interwar gold standard, for it is not evident how interwar experience fits into either view.
