On the eve of the International Social Conference in Copenhagen (1995), the author defends new strategies, suitable for a development axiology. According to him, there is no development without a balanced growth within each country and in the North-South relations. On the other hand, one cannot ignore ecology. Finally, the target of development is man, his own culture, his universal values: the right to a productive insertion and to the participation as a citizen. This pressuposes a democratic State, regulator of a mixed economy. At the juridic level, the author suggests the creation of an independent international forum.
