ABSTRACT
Resistance to economic co-operation efforts of developing countries can be expected from diverse quarters. With respect to production, some developing countries have nationalised their main export crops of mining resources. If the developing countries face difficulties in the management of supplies, their control over the marketing and distribution of their primary commodities is even more limited. The most obvious and politically least sensitive manifestation of economic co-operation among developing countries has been the development of the regional physical infrastructure. The establishment of multinational marketing enterprises of developing countries constitutes a more recent development. Initiatives are underway for the establishment of other multinational marketing enterprises in Latin America, Africa and Asia. In undertaking such an ambitious economic co-operation programme developing countries confront the need to adopt the necessary institutional, juridical and financial measures to mobilize the interest of local investors to establish multinational enterprises.
