The New International Economic Order (NIEO) is a set of proposals adopted by the United Nations in 1974. It calls for commodity cartels, increased industrialization, control of international corporations, more just monetary policy, and a UN commitment to economic and human rights.[1]
The NIEO arose amidst the OPEC oil strike of 1973, the subsequent quadrupling of oil prices, [2] and calls among underdeveloped nations for new relationships between raw materials producing countries and extracting nations. [3] The project of the NIEO collapsed with the failures of Atlantic liberalism and the Third World Project in the face of neoliberalism. [2]
