that there is no miracle solution, and on the rejection of the illusion and the paralysis of exclusive State management. In a sense, a new kind of economic wisdom is coming to the fore and peoples vrtio have suffered so terribly in terms of their living standards because of less responsible approaches to the problem should be the true beneficiaries. The fourth and last element is the following: more and more voices are being raised in order to demand more democracy in the developing countries. This is indeed a good sign for future economic reforms. I know that this is a controversial idea and I am quite aware of the risks involved in the democratization process, but I am convinced that developments towards political pluralism and more responsible forms of government which reject arbitrary policies can contribute to the success of economic reforms, even if there are certain inevitable costs in the immediate present. Here, therefore, are four new elements for our decade. These are some of the essential elements of what I would call a new deal. If we know how to use them in a renewed spirit of solidarity, we can make of the end of this century a decade of progress for all mankind. How can we do this? By going back to the two fundamental principles of international economic co-operation. First, each country bears primary responsibility for its own progress and its strategy^ but secondly, each time a country sets reasonable growth objectives and does all in its power to improve its situation, the rest of the international community owes it all necessary support. We must transform these fundamental principles into a new contract for international co-operation and the two aspects I have mentioned must be treated with equal determination, energetic economic-reform policies and renewed support for development efforts.
