Power and policy in the Third World
A number of obstacles are blocking Third World countries from increasing their well-being and power. A sympathetic examination and comparison of countries in Latin America, Asia, Africa, and the Middle East identifies the political, socio-economic, psychological, and governmental relationships between national policies and their results. The author assesses the effects of colonialism and modernization, and compares the effects of communism in several Third World countries in terms of human dignity and values. The low level of upheaval despite massive discontent in these countries can be attributed to the lack of confidence and hope that prevails in an unjust social system. 112 references, 4 figures, 24 tables.
