The Third World

Globalization of business is bringing in seasoned competitors from the developed countries into the growing markets of the Third World. Consequently, the survival of local enterprises and entrepreneurs is being threatened. Third World managers need to develop a global mindset in order to take advantage of the changed new world order in business. Elucidates the notion of global mindset and examines some typical management training methods and techniques for their adequacy to develop this orientation among Third World managers. Discusses relevant cultural, organizational and macro‐environmental issues. Presents conclusions and recommendations for Third World contexts in respect of Western training methods and business school curricula for broadening the managerial horizons in this era of globalized business.

Nutrition Behaviour

An attempt is made in this paper to consider first the current nutritional scene with its problems, and then to suggest strategies for improvement. Since the quality of people’s diets everywhere is influenced by many different factors, not least by availability of food, a bility to pay for it, and some (however basic) understanding of its effects upon health, a strong plea is made for consideration to be given to those most in need of nutritional help—the least advantaged and least motivated groups in the developed countries, as well as the poor in the Third World. Some strategies aimed at improving nutrition behaviour are outlined.

The Third World

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.

Of the many important events that occurred in the two decades of the 21st century, the process of accelerating urbanization—especially in third-world countries—became something quite phenomenal. It's never even happened before. In the early 2000s, only about 45 percent of the population in the third world lived in urban areas, by 2020 the number had reached about 55 percent. Between now and 2035 the percentage of the population living in urban areas will reach about 85 percent in developed countries. Meanwhile, in developing countries will reach about 65 percent. By 2035, it is also projected that about 80 percent of the world's urban population will live in developing countries' cities.

The Third World

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.

The Cold War

Much of the Cold War took place in the Third World. The three works authored by Gregg A. Brazinsky, Winning the Third World: Sino-American Rivalry During the Cold War; Jeffry James Byrne, Mecca of Revolution: Algeria, Decolonization, and the Third World Order; and Jeremy Friedman, Shadow Cold War: The Sino-Soviet Competition for the Third World, are reviewed here and they provide historical details. A consistent theme that emerges is the importance of ideological factors in driving the events are discussed. It is also clear that the Third World states were not passive objects of pressure from great powers but had agendas of their own. These books provide useful material for theorists of international relations and policy makers.

Developing And Developed Countries

The editors of the Harvard Educational Review are pleased to present "Education as Transformation: Identity, Change, and Development." This special issue is dedicated to those engaged in the struggle for freedom—whether it is waged against political or economic subjugation, illiteracy, racism, or sexual and cultural chauvinism. Our intent is to focus on the role of education in that struggle in both developing and developed countries and on ways of perceiving and understanding reality that frequently differ from traditional Western conceptions. A critical consideration, then, has been not merely to raise issues pertinent to the Third World but rather to acquire a balanced representation of Third World authors who discuss their own particular values, problems,and strategies.
