La coopération administrative Sud-Sud à l'épreuve de l'ajustement - Paris : IIAP, avril/juin 1989

To cope with economic and financial difficulties institutional reform is necessary. The principal actors involved in reform are the international financial institutions. Their financial logic favours the strengthening of North-South cooperation and the construction of integrated regional economic areas. Sout-South cooperation is characterized by the grown of regional bodies for economic and administrative cooperation, the overlap between their operations and those of the international agencies, and a certain financial vulnerability. The strengthening of South-South co-operation entails improving operational coordination, first among the organizations of the South and then between the organizations of the South and those of the North, and promoting models of institutional reform which are adapted to local socio-cultural realities
