Description
INTRODUCTION The decolonization process of the 1960s brought the newly independent countries of Africa into the halls of the United Nations, swelled the membership of the General Assembly, and called attention to the social, economic, and political problems of the countries that would be grouped together as the Third World. The newly independent countries of Africa and the countries of Asia that became independent after World War II came together through their leaders in 1955 at Bandung, Indonesia, to form a movement that would not be aligned in the Cold War then raging between the First World, the industrialized, capitalist, and democratic countries of the West, and the second World, the communist countries. Later joined by the countries of Latin America, independent since the 19th century, the term "Third World," would be applied to them. It was first used by the French economist and demographer Afred Sauvy in 1952 who saw the Third World (Tiers Monde) as a modern parallel to the Third Estate (Tiers Etat) of the French Revolution, the class of commoners after the aristocracy and the clergy. It was a brilliant but flawed idea. (1)
