The Relationship

ABSTRACTThe purpose of this paper is to explore an alternative perspective for understanding individual and societal ageing within the context of global economic and social relations. The dependent status of Third World nations as a result of the process of capital accumulation is examined. It is argued that the manner in which Third World nations respond to the human needs of their old is subject to the relationship that entwines Third World and capitalist industralised nations. Moreover, it is argued that social policy and human service models are nurtured by the ideology underlying these economic relations. The assumptions behind two policy areas are examined. When diffused to Third World nations such social policies function to maintain national elites at the expense of the majority. In conclusion, questions are raised about the relevance of western models of ageing to the needs of old people in the Third World.

The Third World

The 1960–1961 Congo crisis was a defining moment for the Cold War in the Third World. This article combines declassified Soviet documents with published and archival sources from the United States, Great Britain, and Ghana to assess the role of the Soviet Union in the development of the Congo crisis. The Soviet government initially worked to establish economic relations with the newly formed independent government in Congo, but Soviet leaders had to shift their strategy when confronted by Western intervention in Congo and the prospect of a civil war. Despite Nikita Khrushchev's threats that Soviet troops would intervene in the conflict, the USSR did not have the military wherewithal to guarantee the survival of the Congolese leader Patrice Lumumba or other pro-Soviet elements. This outcome ended a brief phase of Soviet success in Africa and significantly altered Soviet policy in the Third World.

AbstractThis article explores the phenomenon of globalisation and its effects on the Third World, namely cultural, political and economic dominance by the West. While economic globalisation, accompanied by structural adjustment programs, is purported to enable economic development of the Third World, it has had the opposite effect, namely to tip the economic scales in favour of the West and thereby created further hardships in poorer Third World countries. Globalisation is therefore experienced as a new colonialism undergirded by exploitative political and economic relations. A global ethic is proposed as a way towards countering the ill effects of globalisation. Such an ethic is built on the two-fold foundation of human dignity and human responsibility. An exposition is given of the principles of a global ethic. Within the ambit of such an ethic moral and religious leaders are called upon to attend to the needs of local communities.

New Phase

The trend toward economic rationality in the USSR has not beenconfined to domestic issues alone. It is also manifest in the search for more advantageous and efficient procedures in foreign economic relations, specifically aid and trade with the third world. In this search for ways to secure tangible gains, Soviet relations with the developing countries are entering a new phase, in which economic considerations of profit are challenging the hitherto dominant political motivations.
