INTRODUCTION
BY
ARTHUR M. ROSS
D u R r N G 1964 the Rt. Hon. Hilary Marquand, who was then Director
of the International Institute for Labour Studies, asked me to organize
and convene a Research Conference on Industrial Relations and Econ
omic Development on behalf of the Institute. This volume consists
of the papers presented and discussed at Geneva during August and
September of that year.
We conceived of this conference as a meeting of scholars for the
purpose of discussions and criticisms in the spirit of social science.
It was our purpose, not to assemble policy-makers and administrators
to formulate practical programmes of action, but rather to bring
together members of the intellectual community in order to augment
theoretical understanding and factual knowledge. The members of
the Conference were not delegates participating in a representative
capacity but rather a group of invited individuals participating in
their own right.
The papers, it is true, deal with some of the most pressing policy
problems which confront the many countries attempting to modern
ize their economies under forced draft ; they are not theoretical in
the sense of being abstract and remote. Nevertheless our purpose
was scholarly rather than programmatic. Likewise, although some of
the participants have important governmental responsibilities in their
own countries, it was understood from the outset that they came to
Geneva as individuals representing no one but themselves. The
same can be said of the staff members of the International Institute
and the ILO officials who participated in the Conference and con
tributed much to the discussions.
The International Institute for Labour Studies was established in
1961 at the initiative of the Director-General of the International
Labour Organization, Mr. David A. Morse. It has been particularly
concerned with the labour problems of economic development :
problems arising within the context of rapid economic, social and
political change. Accordingly, it was appropriate that one of the first
research conferences sponsored by the Institute should deal with the
subject of industrial relations and economic development.
