A Re-Reading of Third Worldism in an Up-to-date International Economic Order

Abstract:

In a context of Cold War, the world deglobalized itself to let appear a hierarchized and divided face from where one could localize a Western area, an Eastern zone, a Northern region and a Southern expanse. Mainly dominated by the West and the East antagonistic relationships, the world international interactions welcomed a third block that stood as a point of contact between the two ideological and political slabs to illustrate a philosophy of non-alignment. It is such a context of mutual suspicion and high distrust that has inspired this paper which, indeed, targets to pinpoint the moving and changing place of the Third-World in the worldwide economy and its relations with other areas in a current background of a global pandemic.
