6 U.S. Legalist Imperial Policy toward Latin America, the Caribbean, and the Far East

On the subject of communications and meetings Dr Worthington outlined the international arrangements during the decade of the I.B.P. Early technical meetings were concerned with methodology and planning research programmes. About the middle of the programme a number of regional symposia were arranged so that the maximum number of field workers could meet each other and discuss progress without undue expense - those by P.F. in Latin America, Africa and the Far East were particularly successful, and also those arranged by H.A. Towards the end of the programme to aid in the synthesis process, some bigger international symposia for the presentation of results were organized as well as a large number of small workshops and editorial meetings; the latter are still continuing.

The United Nations

The Economic Commission for Africa (ECA) with its headquarters at Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, was established in 1958 under resolution 67aA (XXV) of the Economic and Social Council. It is one of the four regional commissions of the United Nations, the other three, which were established much earlier, being the Economic Commission for Europe (ECE) with headquarters in Geneva, the Economic Commission for Asia and the Far East (ECAFE) with Bangkok, Thailand, as its headquarters and the Economic Commission for Latin America (ECLA) at Santiago de Chili. The establishment of these regional commissions was a result of the need and desirability to decentralize United Nations activities, not only on a functional but also on a geographical basis.
