This seminar was arranged by the Peace Research Institute in Oslo for the purpose of bringing together scattered research workers for the exchange of ideas and methods. They were able to draw on experience from Africa, Asia, and Latin America.P. Heintz, director of the Latin American School of Sociology, Santiago, opened the seminar with a talk on the relationship between anomie and development. He mentioned institutional anomie, the compartmentalisation of sectors of society, which occurs, for example, when education fails to make any contribution to the economy. Although he paid more attention to individual anomie, and how it can be absorbed into and dissolved by anomie structures, the institutional concept would appear to be extremely relevant to development problems. Labour markets and the transformation from ascribed to achieved status were mentioned as mechanisms to reduce institutional anomie.

An attempt to develop a social and cultural point of view toward the economic development of under-developed countries in Asia as an antidote to the common approaches in terms of capital, technology, and industry. Economic development is primarily a social and a moral question depending ultimately upon people's attitudes. To be successful, it must be accompanied by (1) a sufficient identity of interests with the objectives of economic development, & by (2) a willingness to accept the change which must accompany the economic development. The economist frequently ignores these factors but, especially in Asia, they are essential to the successful development of the under-developed areas. The SE changes which must precede and accompany economic development cannot be ignored but must be considered and accounted for by economic planners. J. E. Hughes.
