ABSTRACT The current study aims at activating the role of kindergarten’s leaders in Saudi Arabia to establish the early intervention’s culture in the light of the international experiences. The most important manifestations of interest in early childhood and efforts began in Britain and the Scandinavian countries to complete the efforts of The United States of America followed by the Third World Countries. The developed countries during the last few years of this century have made intensive efforts to early childhood in general and early education in particular. This is an attempt to highlight the role of the Saudi kindergartens in the early intervention culture after looking at international experiences in this field.

The state system during the so-called ‘cold war’ rested on a paradox. Peace and stability in the developed countries was accompanied by scores of ‘hot’ wars in the Third World, fuelled and at times created by the United States, the Soviet Union, and their allies. Each superpower had a high incentive to arm client states and rebel armies, in return for political loyalty and access to primary products. Nowhere did the logic of this system have such negative effects as in Africa. There, the result was the militarisation of states, the escalation of wars, and the strengthening of authoritarian forms of rule.

The newly developing countries desire not only political independence but also economic progress for their people—a progress which they can see, and are now aware of, in the rest of the world. The role of the developed countries is to extend aid to the needy. Moral foundations underlie the donor's contributions, but they are more than that, they are the means for acquiring support for international aid in the donor's country. The United States must assume the leader ship among' the free nations in granting aid; she must accept this role because of her economic achievements and technologi cal advantages. Donators of such aid should take cognizance of the complementary character and interrelatedness of economic and social development. For economic development, however much it is sought, is not an end in itself, rather the aim is the well-being and happiness of the individual. Such a goal neces sitates economic aid accompanied by social aid. Social welfare can also be a vehicle to achieve peace, inasmuch as people-to- people relationships generate brotherly love—the only lasting foundation for peace.—Ed.

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.

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 role of law as a tool in aid of development is extremely important to less developed economies. In the area of insurance where insurers act as mobilisers of vast amounts of capital, the importance of regulation as a tool facilitating development cannot be overemphasised.In recognition of the increasing importance of insurance activity to the economies of less developed countries, the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development has played a leading role in helping developing countries fashion regulatory systems that maximise the contribution of their insurance industries to the development of their local economies.This paper looks at the importance of insurance to the Ghanaian economy and discusses the use of insurance regulation to aid development. The paper first looks at insurance in relation to the national economy as a whole, examining how regulation is used to fulfil the various aspects of the industry's importance in aid of development. The paper then looks at the industry and the important sections of the economy, considering how regulation aids development in these areas by fulfilling the various objectives of the industry.

"Development Reconsidered" [6] is not just another addition to the numerous books already published on aid and development over the past two decades. It is something else. The authors try to develop a different approach to the whole process of social change. They do this by critically examining some of the myths and fictions attached to conventional economic concepts. In doing this they either draw heavily on their own personal observations or if that is not sufficient, they try to dig out relevant findings from the writings of other scholars. The book is divided into nine chapters. The subjects treated include, development reconsidered, efficient use of manpower, modernising agriculture and industry, and the significance of nonformal education. There is also one full chapter devoted to the role of the United States in the development of the Third World. The main thesis of the book as I understand is "Hitherto development has promoted a dualistic economic pattern in which only the privileged few have fattened themselves and the rest continue to suffer", This "oasis in the desert" development pattern as the authors call it is not development inducing, but development retarding.

A number of schemes exist to provide aid from the developed countries to those countries which are less privileged and belong to the Third World. For example, the official Guide Book (1978) of the Inter-University Council states: The Inter-University Council for Higher Education (IUC) was established in 1946 by the Universities in the United Kingdom, at the request of the British Government, to assist the advancement of higher education in developing countries and, to this end, to encourage co-operation between Universities in those countries and Universities in the United Kingdom … In 1970 the IUC became a corporate, independent body and entered into a general agreement with the Ministry of Overseas Development which provided that all British official aid to the Universities with which it was associated should as soon as possible be co-ordinated by the Council.’

Psychoanalysis and patriarchalism. Comments on the emancipation claim of Freud’s theory within the history of psychoanalysis in Poland 1900–1939: The article is a polemic with how Eli Zaretsky captures the role of Freud’s psychoanalysis in transforming the self-knowledge of modern societies in his Secrets of the soul. According to Zaretsky, in Central European countries, Poland included, psychoanalysis then served in the democratization of social life and led to the destruction of the patriarchal order; while in Western countries it became medicated, becoming a tool of social control. The author considers both of these claims to be problematic. In the first case, this is due to the limited social impact of Freud’s theory until 1939, in the second, basing this theory on patients’ personal unconscious, it supported their release from the influence of tradition and served them in making free life decisions. This was because in the period up to 1939, in the countries of Central Europe, the second industrial revolution was not as advanced as in the developed countries of Western Europe and the United States. So only in these last countries has psychoanalysis become socially popular and one has witnessed the dynamic development of the psychoanalytic movement.

In less than two centuries the process of industrialisation has spread from a tiny triangle in Britain to nearly 25 per cent of the world population. But it has so far largely by-passed the Third World, including China and socialist East Asia, and the southern periphery of Europe from Portugal to Bulgaria. These developing countries account for almost 75 per cent of the world population, but for only 20 per cent of the world income. On the other hand, the developed countries, with only 25 per cent of the population, have an average income per capita about ten times as high, and account for as much as 80 per cent of the real world output.

✓ In discussing the role of the United States in world politics, President Jimmy Carter described the changes in Europe as it prepares for unification into one economic bloc; the deteriorating conditions in the third world; the impact of the recent changes in communist countries; and the persistence of regional wars and civil disputes. He summarized the policies and activities of The Carter Center in Atlanta, Georgia. This nonprofit organization receives no government funds and can act as an independent agent in areas such as disease eradication and promotion of food production in the third world countries, and can intercede on behalf of peace in countries with civil unrest. He urged the members of the Association, as leaders of society, to use their influence in alleviating worldwide suffering.
