7481<\/b> No Escape, No Dominate<\/b><\/p>\n
New York (AFP)\u2014The United States is the world\u2019s strongest nation, but can no longer impose its own solutions, outgoing Secretary of State Henry Kissinger said. <\/p>\n
\u201cOurs is no longer a world of American nuclear monopoly, but one of substantial nuclear equivalence. Ours is no longer a world amenable to national solutions, but one of economic interdependence. Thus for the first time in American experience, we can neither escape from the world nor dominate it,\u201d Kissinger said. <\/p>\n
7482<\/b> First, Second, Third Worlds<\/b><\/p>\n
First World<\/i>=Western Industrial countries (North America, West Europe, Japan) <\/p>\n
Second World<\/i>=Socialist Industrial Countries<\/p>\n
Third World<\/i>=Latin America, Africa, Asia<\/p>\n
(a) With resources\u2014Arabs, Brazil, Mexico, Singapore, Malaysia<\/p>\n
(b) Without resources\u20141 billion or \u00bc of world. <\/p>\n
7483<\/b> The Third World<\/b><\/p>\n
The Third World consisted of about 110 nations with a combined population of 3 billion, producing only 7% of the world\u2019s industrial goods, although it produces 70% of the unprocessed raw products. <\/p>\n
Nine-tenths of the world are in the Second and Third World. <\/p>\n
7484<\/b> \u201cNonaligned\u201d Nations<\/b><\/p>\n
Technically, the nonaligned are nations with no formal military ties with the Western or Communist superpowers. Actually, they include countries with close military and economic links with one side or the other, or whose sympathies rest firmly in Moscow or the Western capitals. For instance: Iraq, Syria, Angola, Mozambique and such Communist-ruled countries as Cuba, Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam are tilted heavily toward the Russians or Chinese. In contrast, such countries as Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Kenya, Nigeria, Indonesia and Argentina lean toward the West. Yugoslavia, India and some others play both ends against the middle. North Korea is rated nonaligned but South Korea is not. <\/p>\n
Ironically, their strength lies in their very weakness and the psychological pressures they exert on the West. <\/p>\n
Working on the conscience and sense of fair play of industrialized countries, they attempt to win military and economic favors by emphasizing their poverty, lack of technical know-how and, in many cases, a long history of subordination under colonial rule. Creation of raw-material stockpiles to serve as buffers and even out price fluctuations. Another idea is to tie prices of primary products to prices of manufactured goods by \u201cindexing.\u201d As costs of manufactured imports rise, so would prices of exported raw materials. <\/p>\n
7485<\/b> Trilateral Commission<\/b><\/p>\n
The Trilateral Commission is an organization of 80 members each from Western Europe, North America and Japan. It was founded in 1973 under the aegis of David Rockefeller, chairman of the Chase Manhattan Bank. It is an exclusive arm of the Western World\u2019s most powerful and influential individual\u2014an executive committee of international capitalism. <\/p>\n
The basic idea of the Commission is to act in concert to make the underdeveloped nations economically dependent on the West\u2014through grants, loans and investments\u2014so they would not slip into the Soviet or Arab sphere. <\/p>\n
Another primary objective is to promote economic cooperation between the industrialized nations of the West to counterbalance the economic clout of the Arab oil nations and the economic influence of the Soviet Union over the developing nations. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
