It examines such important questions as why have somedeveloping countries been able to exploit the rapidly increasing stock of global knowledge more than others and what can be done to help those falling behind? The Report also looks at the challenge of finding the balance between private initiative and public intervention that encourages innovationand manages attendant risks. It deals with the role of international assistance and international organizations, which can help develop understanding about these complex processes, help to transfer lessons of development experience across countries, and help finance crucial knowledge investments ofimportance to developing countries. Known as the standard reference for international economic data, the World Development Report 1998-1999 provides a set of Selected World Development Indicators as an appendix, presenting social and economic statistics for more than 200 countries.  aCollege AudiencebOxford University Press, Incorporated 0tOpen Knowledge Repository40uhttp://www.columbia.edu/cgi-bin/cul/resolve?clio10970084zFull text available from Open Knowledge Repository
