Since 1984, the United Nations Industrial Development Organization has published an annual Global Report which has established a solid reputation among academics and policy-makers. The 1995 Global Report is shorter and more focused than previous editions. Part I contains an analytical survey of the current world industrial economy. This is written by Lord Meghnad Desai of the London School of Economics, and, in addition to providing a general overview, it focuses on four themes: industrialization and poverty alleviation; regional trading blocs versus multilateral trading; sustainable industrialization; and competitiveness in developing countries. Part II contains ten regional surveys: Japan, North America, Western Europe, Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union, Latin America and the Caribbean, East and Southeast Asia, the Indian sub-continent, North Africa and Western Asia, Sub-Saharan Africa, and China. The statistical appendices provide industrial data for over 150 countries. The report has been more sharply focused and reduced in length by dropping the section on individual industries.
