The Third World

Micro-entrepreneurial activities play a pivotal role in rural economic development in the third world countries. As a result, in Bangladesh poverty alleviation through rural centric micro-entrepreneurship development has been focused for more than thirty five years. Over 600 registered and thousands unregistered microcredit organizations including globally prominent institutions like Grameen Bank, BRAC, ASA, BARD, ActionAid, CARE etc. are operating here with their own reputed models. However, the micro-entrepreneurship development and its achievements in the country are still lagging behind a satisfactory level due to a number of prevailing factors. This book examines its major achievements and shortcomings from the perspectives of the structured institutions, non-structured institutions, and non-institutional factors, and government‘s policy guidelines influencing development of micro-entrepreneurship, and makes recommendations for overcoming the shortcomings.

The Cold War

This chapter analyzes American interventions in the developing world during the Cold War. While a struggle against communism provided the context of the interventions in Iran, Vietnam, and Chile, the deeper motive was to dislodge nationalists who challenged American design to create a worldwide open economy order. The mechanisms varied, from covert coups in Iran and Chile to hard militarism in Vietnam. The benefits to the United States also varied; it experienced nominal success in Chile but a costly defeat in Vietnam. Democracy in both Iran and Chile was derailed, and both countries remained commodity exporters under American tutelage. By contrast, a repressive communist regime came to control Vietnam that has successfully pursued an economic program of industrialization and poverty alleviation.
