There are various ways of thinking about the "new international economic order". However, this concept today means something much more political, specific and precise. Its roots lie in the fundamental aspiration of less developed nations that the political end of colonization be followed by economic and social emancipation. Officially, the idea can be said to have been born in May 1974 in the Sixth Extraordinary Period of Sessions of the United Nations General Assembly through a long resolution, approved by consensus, but its antecedents go back many years and some of the Consequences that emerge are very vivid. Both aspects must be examined if their full meaning is to be understood.
