With nuclear stalemate holding the superpowers in check during the Cold War, violence proliferated in the Third World. Sometimes this took the form of colonial liberation wars as the old European empires disintegrated after the Second World War (Algeria 1954-1962 or Kenya 1952-1959); sometimes the violence was between Third World countries such as the Iran-Iraq War, and sometimes it involved the major powers directly: the Korean War, the Vietnam War, the Soviet intervention in Afghanistan. Certain regions – Central America, Southern Africa, the Horn of Africa or the Middle East – have been in more or less perpetual turmoil for thirty years and more. But whatever form the violence has taken –protracted guerrilla activity against the central government or short, sharp border war – the big powers have always been involved. They have provided arms to one or both sides, they have supported their ideological protégés and, more generally, have manipulated such wars to their own advantage.This book examines five broad categories of war: colonial liberation wars, big power intervention wars, wars between Third World countries, the special area of Israel and its neighbours, and civil wars.

History

Originally published in 1989, Third World Handbook is now available in a new and completely revised Second Edition -- updated to take account of the ending of the Cold War and the collapse of the Soviet Union (and the new Third World status of many of its former constituent republics) and to consider the effects of demographic change in the Third World. Also new to this Second Edition is a Biographical Section, providing details of the major figures in the Third World.Illustrated with maps and photographs, Guy Arnold's Third World Handbook is the product of a lifetime's research and study of this crucial part of the world. It should provide a valuable, time-saving reference tool in the collections of all kinds of libraries.

The Third World Handbook

This work analyzes what allows countries as diverse as Brazil, India, Kuwait, Grenada, Nigeria and Fiji each to claim membership of the huge group known as the Third World. It examines the emergence of the Third World in the postwar period; its membership and regional collaboration; and the common problems faced by its member countries. Much of the handbook is devoted to a region-by-region analysis of Third World organizations and groupings. The book also explores the end of the European-ruled empires, the role of the UN, the Non-Aligned Movement, the development of aid agencies, the advent of OPEC and the growth of oil power, and population; and resources and exploitation. A detailed gazetteer provides statistics on each developing country. This updated edition takes into account the end of the Cold War and the collapse of the Soviet Union. A number of successor states to the former USSR have been included in terms of their stages of development as Third World countries. It includes a biographical index, and is generously illustrated with maps and charts.

With the Cold War over, will undeveloped countries be marginalized and left to starve now that they are no longer needed by the contending world powers? Arnold suggests that the old Third World faces a bleak decade, but also an opportunity to become self-reliant. He discusses populations and resources, aid, debt, racism, the United Nations, neoimperialism, and other elements. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.

PALGRAVE~MACMILLAN

Mercenaries have been employed as auxiliaries since early times, but in the post-1945 world they have operated, almost exclusively, in weak Third World countries. From Columbia to the Congo, Angola to Papua New Guinea, Cambodia to Nicaragua, they have appeared: training the drug cartel armies, assisting rebellions or civil wars, acting as the agents of the major powers. In the Congo crisis (1960-1965) they earned an especially unsavory reputation for greed, brutality and racism; it is a reputation that has stuck to the mercenary and on the whole justly. During the 1990s a new phenomenon has emerged in the form of the mercenary corporations such as Executive Outcomes or Sandline. These corporations offer a range of military expertise and weaponry, have the covert support of governments in the countries from which they come and are rapidly becoming a power to themselves, ultimately far more dangerous than the individual freebooters of the past.
