Abstract
This paper examines the premises and judgements which underlay the creation of a network of six international agricultural research and training organisations such as the International Rice Research Institute in the Philippines. The functioning of these new research centres is described and related to the roles of national research efforts in the less developed and industrialised countries. The donor-organised Consultative Group for International Agricultural Research—an institutional arrangement created to help support the system—is also discussed. Finally, the authors identify some unresolved issues having to do with the nature, structure and decision-making of international agricultural research operations.
