UNCTAD provides focus for examining collective Soviet-bloc (CMEA) negotiating behavior toward the developing countries (Group of 77) in reponse to the initiative for a New International Economic Order in the 1960s and 1970s. Case studies are commodities trade and the Common Fund, the Generalized System of Preferences, the Code of Conduct for Liner Conferences, and the Code of Conduct for Transfer of Technology. The Soviet bloc seeks to use UNCTAD to transform international economic relations while conserving their place in the existing system. CMEA–G-77 coalitions are due more to common domestic structures of state trading than to ideology. Their disagreements are traceable to divergent situations within the international economy itself. Interesting contrasts between the CMEA and the EEC as international organizations are revealed as well.
