Written soon after World War II when important developments in trans- 

 portation, communications, and power bfegan to impact upon the changing 

 political order, this compilation of readings assesses the implications of 

 scientific and technological developments on U.S. international policies. 

 Essays relate to acceptance of new technologies, impact of technology gen- 

 erally on political development, military weapons development and inter- 

 national relations, and impacts of specific developments, steam and steel, 

 aviation, atomic energy, and mass communications on international relations. 

 While much attention is devoted to the relations between the United States 

 and Europe, and the United States and the Soviet Union, some discussion 

 is devoted to relationships with the developing countries. 

 The Planetary Bargain: Proposals for a New International Economic Order to Meet 

 Human Needs. Report of an International Workshop convened in Aspen, 

 Colorado, July 7- August 1, 1975. A Policy Paper/ Aspen Institute for Humanistic 

 Studies. Program in International Affairs. 1975. 36 p. 



"The 'planetary bargain' is our name for the sum of practical arrangements 

 for a new international economic order ..." required to perform global 

 functions. The report argues that governments, acting alone, do not look at 

 policy formulation from an international point of view; this view is required 

 to cope with increasingly interdisciplinary complex systems. The report lays 

 out the structure of the new international institution and the relationships of 

 governments to it. In particular the report describes new functions of the 

 organization: "The international system should work toward the use of 

 'extranational' bodies (comparable to the European Commission) — plural 

 executives which can take international initiatives at the political level. One 

 or more such bodies will be needed to (a) formulate international standards 

 for minimum ('first floor') human needs; (b) help countries evfl,luate alterna- 

 tive development strategies; (c) analyze national plans for meeting human 

 needs; (d) collect taxes and fees for the use of international 'commons'; 

 (e) allocate these funds to carry out plans to meet human needs; and (f) moni- 

 tor the implementation of these plans."
