The main theme of the book is the study of how "Third Worldism"-as aschool of thought-was born and developed, how it reached its apogee in themid-1970s, and how it disappeared from the international scene in the 1980s,leaving in its place new trends such as liberalization, democratization, andlslamism. The author demonstrates his thesis through an examination ofAlgeria. Robert Malley explains his choice of Algeria for this case study by sayingthat Algeria is one of the "principal surrogates of Third Worldism," addingthat "understanding Algeria's contemporary history is a good way to understandwhat has happened to the formerly progressive Third World." This led theauthor to divide his book into three parts.Part 1, "Gestation," is itself subdivided into two chapters. Chapter 1, "WhenSouth Met North," shows how Third Worldism was born th.rough a process ofdialogue/conflict between the North and the South. Chapter 2, "The Origins ofAlgerian Third Worldism," demonstrates how Third World ideas were born anddeveloped in Algeria, starting from the Ottoman era, th.rough the colonial periodand the war for Algerian independence up to its apogee in the mid-1970s. Inparticular, he emphasizes the roles played by such Algerian personalities asMessali Hadj, the Emir Khaled, Ferhat Abbas, and Ibn Badis, in promoting theideas of freedom, equality, solidarity, and justice, which have been the foundingprinciples of Third Worldism. The author also shows the role that Islam hasalways played in Third Worldist Algeria, notably through what has been called"Socialist Islam."Part 2, "Apogee," includes two chapters. In chapter 1 (the third chapter), "TheMaking of a World," the author starts with the concept of Third World (TiersMonde) as used for the first time in 1952 by French economist Alfred Sauvy,in relation to the "Tiers-Etats" which played an important role in the FrenchRevolution in 1789. Then, the author recaJJs the authentic founding event ofThird Worldism-the Bandung Conference of 1955. At the conference, twentynineAfro-Asian "heads of states, including the Algerian FLN, representing1,300 million people," met to promote a collective self-reliance strategy withinThird World countries; curiously enough, at the end of it, a resolution wasadopted calling for the independence of Algeria. The apogee of Third Worldism,the author recalls, was reached in 1974 when the U.N. General Assemblylaunched its Sixth Special Session on Raw Materials and Development andcalled-under the initiative of Algeria-for a New International EconomicOrder (NIEO) based on the principles of equity, sovereignty, equality, interdependence,common interest, and cooperation among all states, irrespective ofthe economic and social systems ...

The problem of dependence of the Russian economy on raw materials remains. The growth of non-primary non-energy exports was approved as one of the priorities in Russia. Updating the national project increases the importance of its institutional support in legislation. The question arises of the sufficiency of institutional reflection of non-resource exports. The purpose of the article is to generalize approaches to the priorities of non-resource exports, to develop methodological tools and to assess the representation of the topic in conceptual documents on the example of the regions of the North-Western Federal District. The research methodology is based on the content analysis of documents using the Istio service. The basis of the study was the conceptual documents of the NWFD regions with export topics. The categories of non-primary exports are highlighted. The socio-economic Development Strategy is the main document approving the region’s non-resource exports. A research program and methodological support for assessing the representation of non-primary exports in documents have been developed. The differences in the institutional support of non-primary exports are revealed. Of the 11 regions, 8 contain a target indicator of non-primary non-energy exports. Kaliningrad and Murmansk oblasts are recommended to include it in the Strategy in order to form institutional support for overcoming the problem of commodity dependence. A classification of regional documents providing institutional support for the export strategy has been developed. For the first time, the assessment contains scientific novelty and can help to understand the need to form a scientific concept of non-resource exports.

This essay explores the crisis of global interdependence that has arisen from competing North-South perceptions of interdependence and from inequitable relations among Third World and industrialized states of the North. Illustrating the general features of the crisis through a case study of the Middle East, the author argues that techniques of economic, political and cultural cooptation have been used by the West to foster a form of interdependence that is of primary benefit to wealthier segments of the global community. To the degree that some Third World states (notably Egypt) now identify with the West, this strategy has been successful. However, the costs to world order are considerable. As they become more integrated into Western-dominated networks of “interdependence,” Third World states face intensifying social contradictions that cannot be resolved through socialist or other noncapitalist strategies. Redress of these problems requires a new legal category of ownership – internationalized property – under which corporate capital, power, and productive capacity would be transferred from the predominant domain of the North to a commonwealth of world states. This basis for world authority would avoid the side– and counter-effects associated with world government and would provide the foundation for a more just world order.

Quasi-states, dual regimes, and neoclassical theory: International jurisprudence and the Third World

Empirical Standard

Decolonization in parts of the Third World and particularly Africa has resulted in the emergence of numerous “quasi-states,” which are independent largely by international courtesy. They exist by virtue of an external right of self-determination— negative sovereignty—without yet demonstrating much internal capacity for effective and civil government—positive sovereignty. They therefore disclose a new dual international civil regime in which two standards of statehood now coexist: the traditional empirical standard of the North and a new juridical standard of the South. The biases in the constitutive rules of the sovereignty game today and for the first time in modern international history arguably favor the weak. If international theory is to account for this novel situation it must acknowledge the possibility that morality and legality can, in certain circumstances, be independent of power in international relations. This suggests that contemporary international theory must accommodate not only Machiavellian realism and the sociological discourse of power but also Grotian rationalism and the jurisprudential idiom of law.

In January 1972 the UN Security Council accepted the invitation to meet in Africa which had been issued by the African states and, in late January and early February 1972, Addis Ababa was the scene of an historic session. For the first time, Africa's “burning issues” were considered in depth and plans were made to implement earlier decisions adopted in connection with them. Africa's success in having the Council meet on its territory was the culmination of persistent efforts by the African group at the UN aiming, since 1960, at making colonialism and apartheid in Africa matters threatening international peace and security. Today, on the twenty-seventh anniversary of the adoption of the UN Charter, it is necessary to analyze the nature of this evolving relationship between Africa and the World Organization as a case study of UN relationships with the Third World.

The Impact

The workshop market has a pretty good potential for “dodol” business. Dodol has become a characteristic of this region so that the demand will remain stable. Sales of dodol, which increases every year, makes this food have a bright prospect to develop because the raw  materials for its manufacture are available locally. The purpose of this research is to provide analysis and the impact of existing problems, from a phenomenon due to the opening of a high-cliff-field toll road to economic life and the selling power of snacks and food in small and medium-sized enterprises.There fore, it is not out of business due to development impacts of high-cliff-field toll road. The importance of carrying out this research was to give a solution and input from the district government as well as the North Sumatra provincial government in the management of small and medium-sized micro enterprises in the workshop market. Type of Research was Case Research (Case Study). The impact of the construction of the Medan-Tebing Tinggi toll road is very important for the MSME community around the workshop market. The impact was not only on the community but also on the regional government.Per capita income from the MSME market workshop decreased dramatically to 50% of income per month. In addition, fewer workers were employed by MSMEs, where previously they could employ 2 to 5 people per store. Now they can only employ 1 to 2 people. Regional Original Income derived from restitution has significantly dropped since the construction of the toll road. On the other hand, the positive impact felt by the market community is that there was no congestion and the air pollution decreased.

This study examines the demographic profile of "Tamil" women entrepreneurs in the North East of Sri Lanka who became entrepreneurs as a result of war. Five main areas of interest were examined, namely, (i) characteristics of these women; (ii) factors that spurred them into entrepreneurship; (iii) their challenges; (iv) their measures of success; and (v) their demographic profile. Findings indicate that a large percentage of these women were highly entrepreneurial who were motivated into business to achieve a higher standard of living, be self-reliant and support their families. Most of these women were married with children and, and because many had lost their husbands to the war, saw business as a means to an end. A large majority of these women were in business for the first time and rated their businesses as successful ventures. Their measures of success were self-fulfillment and a balance between family and work. The findings of this research are important because the women entrepreneurs of the North East are seen as a powerful driving force for the economic development of the country.

The author, a Briton, presents an informal case-study of two years as Publications Secretary at a Nigerian agricultural research institute. The difficulties and frustrations he faced are described. Staff, supply, and equipment problems are discussed. He suggests that such problems may be general to black Africa and are likely to be faced by technical communicators moving for the first time to this region and to some other parts of the Third World. He concludes that such posts demand more of their incumbents in terms of personality than in terms of qualifications. He questions whether potential Third World communicators are properly informed about or prepared for their posts, and criticizes the tendency of employers, particularly international organizations, to require applicants for communications posts to hold exalted formal qualifications.

Presented here is a study of the bone industry from the Capsian site of SHM-1 in eastern Tunisia, dating from the 7th and 6th millennia BC. In spite of the very fragmentary condition of the 111 specimens analysed, the technological approach adopted — used for the first time in the Maghreb — shows recurrences within the chaines opératoires used in tool production, choice of raw materials, cutting and fashioning techniques, and the morphologies sought. The assemblage mainly consists of pointed tools obtained by grooving ruminant metapodials in two or four pieces, as well as other types peculiar to the North African context. The traits and patterns apparent in the SHM-1 assemblage are also found in other Capsian and Neolithic assemblages, thereby allowing us to make a first characterisation of certain technical and cultural components common to the Capsian tradition.
