Abstract
In terms of the broad sweep of human history, the most pressing issue of international political economy in our era is the future of the so-called Third World. However one chooses to label it — modernization, development, industrialization, etc. — the intense desire of the greater fraction of the human race to escape its debilitating poverty and join the developed world is a determining feature of contemporary international politics. How this issue is resolved, if at all, will profoundly affect the future of the planet. It has given rise to bitter controversy regarding the causes of this poverty, who is responsible for it, and demands for a New International Economic Order.
