Download or read book The Darker Nationsa Biography Of The Short Lived Third World written by Vijay Prashad and published by LeftWord Books. This book was released on 2007 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Third World was not a place, argues Vijay Prashad. It was a project. This book is a paradigm-shifting history of both a utopian concept and global movement the idea of the Third World. The Darker Nations traces the intellectual origins and the political history of the attempt to knit together the world s impoverished countries in opposition to the United States and Soviet spheres of influence in the decades following World War II, as nation after nation across Asia, Africa and South America gained political independence from colonial rule.Traversing continents, Vijay Prashad s fascinating narrative takes us from the birth of postcolonial nations after World War II to the downfall and corruption of nationalist regimes.The Darker Nations restores to memory the vibrant though flawed idea of the Third World, whose demise, Prashad ultimately argues, has produced a much impoverished international political arena.
Download or read book The Theory and Practice of Third World Solidarity written by Darryl C. Thomas and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2001-02-28 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examines the development of Third World solidarity within the broader historical context of changing hegemonic power systems, from Pax Britannia to Pax Americana. Thomas focuses on the political, economic, and racial structures that are fundamental to hegemonic supremacy over peripheral and semiperipheral states, and he analyzes the divergent modes of Third World incorporation (subordination) into the world system. He concludes that the racial structure of global apartheid that dominated the world system during the colonial period is re-emerging under the rubric of a New World Order.
Download or read book Where Are The Unions written by Doctor Sian Lazar and published by Zed Books Ltd.. This book was released on 2017-03-15 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The start of the twenty-first century has been marked by global demands for economic justice. From the pink tide and Arab spring to Occupy and anti-austerity, the last twenty years have witnessed the birth of a new type of mass mobilisation. Where Are The Unions? compares, for the first time, the challenges faced by movements in Latin America, the Arab world and Europe. Workers’ strikes and protests were a critical part of these events, yet their role has been significantly underestimated in many of the subsequent narratives. This book focuses on the complex interactions between organised workers, the unemployed, self-employed, youth, students and the state, and critically assesses the concept of the ‘precariat’. With contributions from across four continents, this is the most comprehensive look at the global context of mass mobilisation in the twenty-first century.
Download or read book International Labor Organizations and Organized Labor in Latin America and the Caribbean written by Robert J. Alexander and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2009-09-23 with total page 333 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first scholarly work to focus exclusively on the roles of pan-regional and worldwide labor organizations in the labor movements across the nations of the Caribbean, Central America, and South America. With a career that covers over a half century, Robert J. Alexander is perhaps our foremost authority on Latin American history and politics. In International Labor Organizations and Organized Labor in Latin America and the Caribbean: A History, Alexander explores one of the most fascinating and often overlooked aspects of the Latin American labor scene he has so meticulously chronicled: the relationships between labor unions within specific nations, region wide organizations, and organized labor around the world. Alexander has written many of the cornerstone works on labor movements within the nations of Latin America, and this is his first volume to focus on the impact of international unions on Latin American labor issues. Coverage includes the AFL-offshoot Pan American Federation of Labor and the CIA-backed AIFLD; the role of the Russian Union, Profintern; European-based unions like the anti-Communist/anti-Fascist Postal Telegraph and Telephone International; and intraregional organizations like the Confederacion de Trabajadores de America Latina (CTAL)—the first attempt to form a multinational labor organization exclusively for the region.
Download or read book The Third World in the Age of Globalization written by Ash Narain Roy and published by Zed Books. This book was released on 1999 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "These questions lead the author into his second theme. Latin America has had a much longer experience of independence than Africa or Asia. It has had to confront how to conduct its relations with an over-mighty neighbour. Latin America may often have been on the margins of Third World politics and international leadership. But it may now be well placed to help developing countries concert together." "The author provides a reflection on modern Latin American history in the context of its wider relations with the Third World and the USA in the past half century, and particularly the 1980s and 90s. The result is an insightful account of where developing countries now are and how they might seek to reassert themselves in order to defend their interests in the new world order."--BOOK JACKET.
Download or read book Labor Politics in North Africa written by Ian M. Hartshorn and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2019-01-03 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Arab Uprisings of 2010 and 2011 had a profound effect on labor politics in the region, with trade unions mobilizing to an extent never before seen. How did these formerly quiescent trade unions become militant? What linkages did they make to other social forces during and after the revolutions? And why did Tunisian unions emerge cohesive and influential while Egyptian unions were fractured and lacked influence? Following extensive interviews, Ian M. Hartshorn answers these questions and assesses how unions forged alliances, claimed independence, and cooperated with international groups. Looking at institutions both domestically and internationally, he traces the corporatist collapse and the role of global labor in offering training and new possibilities for disgruntled workers. With special attention to the relationship with rising Islamist powers, he also examines the ways in which political parties tried to use labor, and vice versa, and provides a detailed study of the role of labor in ousting the first Islamist governments.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1987, this book focusses on the debate around the international role of the working class and other dominated classes such as the rural and urban poor. The contributions discuss whether Marx’s original version of the revolutionary role of workers can still be sustained. They examine the response of workers to the globalisation of production, to structural unemployment in the industrialized world and to the changing composition of the workforce in the industrialising periphery. The volume questions the historic starting points in the theorization of international labour.

Students of trends, policymakers, entrepreneurs, academics, journalists and anyone eager for a glimpse into the next decades, will find this report, with colored graphs, essential reading.
Download or read book The Politics of the Third World written by John Donald Bruce Miller and published by London ; New York [etc.] : issued under the auspices of the Royal Institute of International Affairs [by] Oxford U.P.. This book was released on 1966 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is there a third world of Afro-Asian states, and if so, what does international politics involve for them? How effectively have they developed national interests and the capacity to pursue them, and to what extent do they share common interests and are prepared to act in furthering them? Above all do these states differ sufficiently from older states to justify our thinking that their future behaviour will be of a different order? With these questions in mind, the author examines the interests of the countries of Asia, Africa, and the Middle East, their performance at the UN and related bodies, and the international institutions which they have set up for themselves, such as the OAU and Arab League. He reviews the attempt at Bandung and elsewhere to project an Afro-Asian point of view, the significance of the UN conference on Trade and Development, the efforts of the western and communist powers to increase their influence, and some of the illusions about the Afro-Asian countries commonly held in the West. The general conclusion is that there is no necessary harmony of views within the Third World except on issues of symbolic importance such as colonialism and economic development. Even on these, the degree of harmony is likely to lessen in the future -- Back cover.
