A ordem mundial pós-1945 renova o direito internacional por meio do desenvolvimento. Surge na política internacional o Terceiro Mundo, composto por povos marcados pela colonização de exploração. O Terceiro Mundo desconfia do direito internacional. Utilizando-se do método indutivo e da pesquisa bibliográfica, o presente estudo demonstra a crítica ao novo direito internacional pelo Third World Approaches do International Law. O novo direito internacional funda-se em instituições políticas – as Nações Unidas – e econômicas – Bretton Woods. Essas instituições moldam as realidades dos países do Terceiro Mundo, transformando os vínculos coloniais mas sem rompê-los. Os países do Terceiro Mundo não podem romper com as instituições e nem com o direito internacional, pois é o único espaço onde podem ser ouvidos. Cabe a eles uma tarefa de transformação por meio da crítica.

Тhe article reveals the main directions of transformation of the modern world order caused by the decline of the American-centric system, as well as the crisis of European integration. The main factors that determine the development of these processes, problems and prospects for the formation of a new world order at the beginning of the third decade of the XXI century are determined. The most significant aspects of the transformation of the policy of the United States and its European allies in relation to Russia are considered, and historical analogies are drawn with the processes of transformation of the world community in the XIX and XX centuries.

To produce a selected bibliography on Third World mass communications has become rather difficult in recent years, because of an abundance of materials. The controversy that led to and nourished the New World and International Information Order augmented the literature by many fold and in some cases impressively — though not always differently, as catch phrases and arguments on all sides of the debate were repeated almost slavishly in packaged articles and books reminiscent of the works of a public relations practitioner. The growth of journalism training, research and educational institutions — and a corresponding increase in teachers, researchers and writers — in Third World nations also produced a glut of information. Because of these factors and a space limitation, this bibliography is devoted almost entirely to books and monographs published between 1971 and 1981. A list of periodicals which carry Third World mass communications articles is added, with notations on special issues devoted to the topic. To do more than this concerning periodical literature is prohibitive in this article. Categories used are bibliographies; mass communications, broken down into general, advertising and public relations, broadcasting, film and press; communication and development in the Third World (including media's role in social change, national development and integration, rural development and revolutionary movements); communications, politics and governments in the Third World (including law of the press, political processes and ideologies, right to communicate and press freedom); and the New World and International Information Order and the Third World (including media imperialism, flow of news and information and national sovereignty). This listing in no way is meant to be exhaustive; instead, it is designed to serve as a basic bibliography of the most recent books and monographs written by researchers and scholars throughout the world, but mainly from the United States.

On the threshold of the millennial transition of the next 20–40 years, the human community is confronted with four alliterative crises which will reach a crescendo in the 1980s: energy, environment, employment, and equity. Breakdowns in capital- and energy-intensive systems are increasingly likely in the industrially advanced countries of the North and in the so-called modern sectors of Third World economies. As pressure on non-renewable resources and the environment grows, more and more effort is being made through organized R&D in the North to find technological solutions or fixes to these problems. The revolutionary advances occurring in micro-electronics and biotechnology can have dramatic impact on life-styles in the North and South, and on the global political economy. The key issues of the millennial transition, however, will not be technological but economic and political, revolving around the question of control over these technological innovations. Greater economic, political and technological integration of the world will draw the periphery nations of the Third World more tightly into a web of continuing dependence; and therefore selective disengagement of the South from the North emerges as a ‘lesser evil’ transitional strategy, while the South seeks to strengthen its own local problem-solving skills to grapple with the alliterative crises of the 1980s. In this effort, the South must use more extensively its own existing survival technology - indigenously based knowledge and skills which most people in the Third World live by today - in judicious combination with new advanced technologies from the North, if it can exercise reasonable control over the acquisition and utilization of those technologies.

Introduction. This article is devoted to studying the influence of the Soviet “economic offensive” factor in the 1950s on the formation of the New World Economic Order by the American by the American ruling elite in general and the use of such an important tool as foreign assistance in particular in the framework of this process. The reconstruction of this process makes it possible to clarify the specifics of the foreign policy decision-making mechanism in the United States, to identify the ideological approaches of main political interest groups to the goals and methods of building a new world order. Methods and materials. The study uses a group analysis approach as well as American executive and legislative documents, press material, speeches by key politicians, etc., to identify the reasons for the differences among representatives of the three leading interest groups in interpreting the nature of the Soviet “economic offensive” in the Third World countries. Analysis. These differences were primarily due to the possibility of using the factor of the Soviet “aggression” for conducting domestic propaganda campaigns as part of the interest groups struggle for control over the foreign assistance program. Thus, the representatives of the atlantists group claimed that the main threat from the Communist world remained in the military sphere; the globalist-oriented progressives insisted that the Soviet “economic offensive” was a critical danger to U.S. interests, while conservatives declared that the “myths” about the Soviet-communist threats to the United States in the Third World were invalid. Results. In the second half of the 1950s the group of progressives used the factor of the Soviet “economic offensive” more effectively in the framework of their campaigns (there were four of them), which allowed them to take control over the foreign assistance program and begin to reorient the American strategic course from the prevailing ideology of “mutual security” towards the global developmentalism.
