Abstract
The question addressed by this
paper is why, given the historical and economic evidence against the
Integrated Programme for Commodities, do a majority of the countries of
the world still advocate its establishment?
This paper is organized to address this question in the following
manner: chapter one outlines the historical developments in commodity
control schemes from 1900 until 1945; chapter two describes the evolution
of international commodity agreements from World War II until
the present; chapter three then presents the economic arguments against
the International Programme for Commodities and; chapter four attempts
to answer why there is still a push for a program which economists are
sure will fail to meet its objectives. A brief discussion of what the
future holds for commodity agreements is added in the form of a conclusion.
