The Second World Congress on Emergency and Disaster Medicine was held on May 31–June 3,1981, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA, under the auspices of the “Club of Mainz for Emergency and Disaster Medicine Worldwide.” The First World Congress organized by the Club of Mainz was held in Mainz, West Germany on September 30–October 3, 1977 (Chairman, Rudolf Frey), and the Third World Congress will be held in Rome, Italy on May 23–27, 1983 (Chairman, Corrado Manni). It is appropriate to report here on the World Congress in Pittsburgh, since the first four issues of this new Journal consist of edited papers and abstracts presented at that Congress.

Following the founding of the Society of Critical Care Medicine (SCCM) in the USA in 1970, and of other national Critical Care Medicine (CCM) societies in Europe, Australia and New Zealand, Japan, Israel, South Africa and Central and South America, a World Congress on Intensive Care Medicine (ICM) was held in London in 1973. This first World Congress was organized by Drs. Alan Gilston of the National Herat Hospital in London and Iain McA. Ledingham of Western Infirmary in Glasgow. During the Congress, Dr, Gilston initiated formation of The World Federation of Societies of Intensive and Critical Care Medicine (WFSICCM) which sponsored the second World Congress on Intensive and Critical Care Medicine (ICCM) in Paris in 1977 and the Third World Congress on ICCM in Washington, D. C. in 1981. The Fourth World Congress will be held in Jerusalem, June 23–28, 1985.

New Tradition

How does one properly account for the rise of theological ferment in the Third World, when so much of the theological activity in that region is so closely related to what happens (or fails to happen) in the First World? To what extent can the decisions of the Second Vatican Council, or the programs of the World Council of Churches, or the initiatives of the Mission Boards in North America, be given credit for the emergence of Third World theologies? Or how do we explain the paradox that in spite of two decades in the growth and development of local theologies in the Third World, much of the way in which Third World churches conduct their business and their worship still fails to reflect such developments? Who sets the priorities for theology in the Third World? What is the procedure for its validation and official acceptance? When does the local church know that it is safe to shift from the received tradition to the new tradition? All these are questions of farreaching significance, for they bear on the very heart of authentic Christianity as it is proclaimed and practised in the Third World. Third World Christians must determine for themselves when and how they will theologize in their own language, in which they were born (Acts 2.8). Third World theologians have stepped out in front and have taken some initiatives for themselves, and among themselves.

AbstractIn the second half of the twentieth century, the transnational ‘Third World’ concept defined how people all over the globe perceived the world. This article explains the concept’s extraordinary traction by looking at the interplay of local uses and global contexts through which it emerged. Focusing on the particularly relevant setting of France, it examines the term’s invention in the context of the Cold War, development thinking, and decolonization. It then analyses the reviewPartisans(founded in 1961), which galvanized a new radical left in France and provided a platform for a communication about, but also with, the Third World. Finally, it shows how the association Cedetim (founded in 1967) addressed migrant workers in France as ‘the Third World at home’. In tracing the Third World’s local–global dynamics, this article suggests a praxis-oriented approach that goes beyond famous thinkers and texts and incorporates ‘lesser’ intellectuals and non-textual aspects into a global conceptual history in action.

The implementation process of the global accord on climate change has to start now in order to be implementable. The decentralized process if implementation should take the lessons from the theory of policy implementation into account (Pressman & Wildavsky, 1984; Wildavsky, 1987). The dependency upon various forms of coal (wood, stone) and fossil fuels is so large in the Third World that only massive financial assistance from the First World can mean a difference for the COP21 objectives. And many advanced countries (except Uruguay) also need to make great changes to comply with COP21.

The Third World

Hunger and malnutrition are today associated with the capitalist system. The evidence points to a further deterioration of the food situation in the Third World in the foreseeable future, as a result of massive capital and technology transfers from the rich capitalist countries to the underdeveloped agricultures operated by transnational concerns or private investors, with the active support of development assistance agencies such as the World Bank. Contrary to the superficial predictions of the World Bank, for example, poverty is bound to increase and the purchasing power of the masses must decline. Particular attention must be paid to the supply of staple foods and the proletariat. This is threatened by a variety of factors, attributable to the operation of the capitalist system. Among them are the senseless waste of Third World resources caused by the foreign investors' insatiable thirst for the quick repatriation of super-profits and the increasing orientation of Third World agricultures toward high-value or export crops (which are usually the same), an orientation which is imposed upon them by the industrial countries' agricultural development strategies. Even self-sufficiency programs for more staple foods, such as the ill-reputed Green Revolution, predictably cannot be of long duration.
