Why Conferences Fail
Laski, Harold J. | July 19, 1933 issue

add to cart   close window

The article focuses on the drawbacks of international conferences, in view of the World Economic Conference of 1933. According to the author, it is a mistake to hold such a conference unless the preparation has been complete enough either to lay down the broad lines of agreement or to confront its members with decisive alternatives. In the present case, it is clear that there has been no such preparation. It is a mistake to hold such a conference unless its terms of reference are limited and specific.
