The Third World

There is something seriously flawed about models of social change that posit the dominant role of in-built civilizational motors. While “the rise of the West” makes great ideology, it is poor history. Like Jared Diamond, I believe that we need to situate the fate of nations in a long-term ecohistorical context. Unlike Diamond, I believe that the ways (and the sequences) in which things happened mattered deeply to what came next. The Mediterranean is a particularly useful case in this light. No longer a center of progress after the sixteenth century, the decline of the Mediterranean is usually ascribed to its inherent cultural deficiencies. While the specific cultural infirmity varies with the historian (amoral familism, patron/clientalism, and religion are some of the favorites) its civilizationalist presuppositions are clear. In this respect the search for “what went wrong” typifies national histories across the region and prefigures the fate of the Third World.

Hundreds of millions of people are suffering from m alnutrition and starvation in the Third World, the largest of our worlds. Tens of millions die each year from these causes. Population grow this exponential; growth of food production, at best, is in arithmetic progression, and the gap is rapidly widening. W e need more than scientific training if such immense problem s are to be solved. In fact, our scientific and technical training may have left us with some flawed tools. Droughts are implicit in m any of our volatile climates; persistent droughts are also a characteristic of nature and famine is their consequence. W e need to be able to show and to feel that food is worth growing. Aid by the developed nations to the developing nations will not work in the long term without considerable changes in the cultures and technical skills of the poor.

Intelligence Service

Following several years of shocking revelations about the United States intelligence service, we now have a unique opportunity to rethink our objectives in the Third World, especially in Africa, and to modify our intelligence activities to complement rather than contradict sound, long term policies. The revelations, and their related publicity, have been a healthy exercise, making the American public aware of what enlightened people throughout the world already knew, that CIA operations had plumbed the depths of assassination, meddlesome covert wars, and the compulsive recruitment of foreign officials to commit treason on our behalf; activities which, if they did not border on international terrorism, certainly impressed their victims as harsh and cruel, whatever their bureaucratic authentication and national security justification in Washington.

The major objective of prosthetics the world over is the same, i.e. to restore the amputee to as functional a capacity as possible in his cultural environment, whilst attaining as good a cosmetic result as can be achieved. At first glance it would seem that this would mean there would be very little difference in approach to the subject in western and in third world countries. Availability of materials, resources and skilled personnel, together with a variety of cultural differences, however, make third world prosthetics a subject in itself. This paper reviews the literature available on the subject, examines some different approaches to prosthetics in the third world, gives an overview of some materials and designs used and considers adaptations for cultural differences. It concludes that, whilst direct transfer of western prosthetics technology is useful in the short term, for long term benefit to the poorer amputees in the third world, culture-specific designs and materials are more appropriate.

One of the antecedent processes to drug giving or drug taking is an action (promotion) by pharmaceutical companies to influence these behaviors. In most countries, especially Third World countries, the promotional material is a primary source of drug information to practitioners. When this material is intentionally biased or is accompanied by other unethical practices, company ethics are rightly questioned. Third World pharmaceutical promotional practices are examined, along with some of the consequences that occur as a result of the discovered improprieties. Several factors that impact on public's view of the pharmaceutical industry are discussed as well as their influence on member firm's reputation. The more that a company understands these factors and incorporates this knowledge into their strategic planning, the greater will be its potential for long-term growth and sustained profitability.

This article attempts to understand the emergence of the idea of homeland security in the US in the recent past, the attendant security praxis, and its impact on the Third World security (predicament). It maps the journey of the idea of homeland security—from a US-specific domestic policy framework to a globalizing security framework. It is argued that in the emerging security understanding, the concerns of Third World countries, which were getting some global attention in the past few decades through the concepts like human security and societal security, have been marginalized. By referring to security-related policy changes in other countries, the article explains the US efforts to export this new understanding of security to the Third World and its long-term implications. As the homeland security paradigm and practices make their way into many developing countries, understanding the ‘homeland security moment’ from the perspective of the latter is of crucial significance to gauge their security predicament in the newer context.

Perjalanan pembangunan ekonomi Indonesia pada era Orde Baru yang mengesankan terjadinya peningkatan kesejahteraan secara berkelanjutan dan bertahap, telah menjadikan harapan bagi masyarakat menengah ke bawah. Akan tetapi, pada prospek jangka panjang justru menyisakan tangisan dan penderitaan ekonomi secara sistemik. Hal ini dapat dilihat dari krisis moneter yang bergejolak pada tahun 1998.

The article outlines broad directions for the elaboration of a model that could be used to demonstrate the specificity of Third World international organizations. The first section deals with the specific nature of these organizations' environment. The article then define the mechanisms which are at the basis of their development. The recognition of the specific nature of Third World international organizations leads to the conclusion that political factors play an essential role in the birth, operation and sometimes failure of these organizations. In the Third World, international organizations are essentially a political phenomenon, combining powers which, because of the existence of few or none real functional needs, can hardly go beyond their immediate interests to work toward the strengthening of structures of international cooperation, which effects can only be felt in the middle or long term.

There has in recent years been a considerable focus on migration by historians. We now know far more about rural/urban migration patterns within Britain, both short term and long term. This is particularly so for the period since the mid nineteenth-century censuses. But evidence suggests that mobility, notably among the young and single, was very high from the seventeenth century. Long before the first censuses a steady flow of population from rural areas to towns and cities had begun. ‘Rural depopulation’, we are told, ‘is common to most mature industrial societies of the twentieth century’. In fact, experience of the last half century in the Third World, as well as in pre-industrial England, suggests such movement precedes the development of a ‘mature industrial society’. In parts of England, it was the ‘major urban phenomenon in the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries’. Many areas of the Third World have experienced very rapid urbanisation particularly since 1950 when the vast majority of the population still lived in rural areas.
