pp. 262-282

The present paper deals with an actual global issue of the contemporary market: drugs safety. The article is a review paper, built around a hot topic: drugs security and pharmaceutical scandals. The starting points of our analyses are publications and authors from all over the world, with a complex literature relating risky and controversial aspects of drugs consumption. One result of our study is the fact that there are serious breaches of ethics and protocol in clinical trials, not only in those conducted in the Third World countries. In such conditions, where is the real drugs consumer protection? It is difficult for the global multi-billion dollar drugs market to be totally controlled. That is why, nothing will change within the consumer protection field until the consumers become enough outraged in order to take action and to protect themselves.

Globalization is a controversial issue in the third world countries. ! is study tries to determine the factors associated with this controversy and explained the economic impacts of globalization in the third world countries on the basis of some of the scholars' arguments expressed on the subject. In the recent past, there have been the pros and cons of globalization in developing countries. Some argue that globalization is indeed a necessary evil to the third world countries that it can neither be rejected nor fully applied to its national policy. However, many others suggest that globalization should be looked at in all its manifestations and from different angles. In order to address this issue, when considered from the economic point of view, the negative economic impacts of globalization should be minimized and exportable capacity of the third world economy in the global market should be increased in a step by step manner.

AbstractIn the second half of the twentieth century, the transnational ‘Third World’ concept defined how people all over the globe perceived the world. This article explains the concept’s extraordinary traction by looking at the interplay of local uses and global contexts through which it emerged. Focusing on the particularly relevant setting of France, it examines the term’s invention in the context of the Cold War, development thinking, and decolonization. It then analyses the reviewPartisans(founded in 1961), which galvanized a new radical left in France and provided a platform for a communication about, but also with, the Third World. Finally, it shows how the association Cedetim (founded in 1967) addressed migrant workers in France as ‘the Third World at home’. In tracing the Third World’s local–global dynamics, this article suggests a praxis-oriented approach that goes beyond famous thinkers and texts and incorporates ‘lesser’ intellectuals and non-textual aspects into a global conceptual history in action.

Hunger and malnutrition are today associated with the capitalist system. The evidence points to a further deterioration of the food situation in the Third World in the foreseeable future, as a result of massive capital and technology transfers from the rich capitalist countries to the underdeveloped agricultures operated by transnational concerns or private investors, with the active support of development assistance agencies such as the World Bank. Contrary to the superficial predictions of the World Bank, for example, poverty is bound to increase and the purchasing power of the masses must decline. Particular attention must be paid to the supply of staple foods and the proletariat. This is threatened by a variety of factors, attributable to the operation of the capitalist system. Among them are the senseless waste of Third World resources caused by the foreign investors' insatiable thirst for the quick repatriation of super-profits and the increasing orientation of Third World agricultures toward high-value or export crops (which are usually the same), an orientation which is imposed upon them by the industrial countries' agricultural development strategies. Even self-sufficiency programs for more staple foods, such as the ill-reputed Green Revolution, predictably cannot be of long duration.
