Abstract
AbstractWe consider a method for determining the QCD strong coupling constant using fits of perturbative predictions for event shape averages to data collected at the LEP, PETRA, PEP and TRISTAN colliders. To obtain highest accuracy predictions we use a combination of perturbative $${{{\mathcal {O}}}}(\alpha _{S}^{3})$$

determination cannot be improved significantly with the higher-order perturbative QCD corrections alone, but primarily requires a deeper understanding of the non-perturbative effects.
