The Report is intended to present the general public with a comprehensive and reader-friendly account of the economic and social environment in the region. It profiles the activities of the Economic and Social Commission for Western Asia (ESCWA) and outlines its relations with other organisations and institutions, as well as with its member States. The Report also provides a brief overview of two studies. One is the "Survey of Economic and Social Developments in the ESCWA Region 1998-1999", which reviews recent developments against the background evolution of the past twenty-five years. The other is "The ESCWA Region: Twenty-five Years: 1974-1999, Political, Economic and Social Developments", which provide a broad, varied perspective of the activities and events of the past and their relevance to the future.

This second volume from the United Nations Intellectual History Project surveys the history of the UN's regional commissions and the ideas they have developed over the last 40 years. Each essay is devoted to one of the five regional commissions -- Europe, Asia and the Far East, Latin America, Africa, and Western Asia -- and how it has approached its mission of assessing the condition of regional economies and making prognoses about future conditions. The essays describe how each commission has added local perspectives to global debates over economic development and brought an authentic regional voice to the UN. Contributors are Adebayo Adedeji, Yves Berthelot, Leelananda de Silva, Blandine Destremau, Paul Rayment, and Gert Rosenthal.
