ABSTRACT
There has been a very considerable growth of interest in the problems of land-locked countries since the author first began work on the subject in 1963, and the growth appears to be accelerating. Students and scholars, diplomats and lawyers, geographers and economists, policy-makers and policy executors will have a continuing need for information on which they can base their theories, proposals, policies and actions. As for United Nations documents, the author have included principally those containing substantive material bearing directly on the topic. There are dozens more containing resolutions and declarations, statements, draft articles, amendments and proposals. There are also internal (and generally confidential) reports, project descriptions, and administrative materials of many UN agencies, especially UNDP, UNCTAD and the regional economic commissions.
