This study investigates the ambivalent traits of third world postcolonialism. Third world postcolonialism appears as an antithesis against the logical fallacy of the binary oppositions performed by the contemporary first world postcolonial theory and practice. The division between the first and the third world postcolonial aesthetics is due to their different interpretations and practices of the term 'postcolonial,' respectively.

Abstract:

There has during a rapid growth of third sector organizations (TSOs) in the third world during the 1990s. Such growth has occurred during a period of severe cutbacks in state investment as well as rapid globalization of trade. Social activists have often organized TSOs in these countries as an alternative to private and public organizations. However the question of how leaders and managers of these TSOs sustain their activities remains important. Their dilemma of help is the focus of this study.
Through a study of strategy formation in three third sector organizations in the third world, this study focuses on how TSOs can be sustainable yet effective change agents. It develops a typology of TSOs with particular attention to type of third sector activity (operating, support, community), type of organizational form (Grassroots initiatives, Grassroots Organizations, Grassroots Federations, Development Support Organizations and International Development Support Organizations) and dominant strategy approach (domain, distinctiveness, and design). This study argues that attention to these three aspects needs to be complemented by exploring the processes through which strategies form in these organizations.
Accordingly the strategy process in three TSOs in South India was examined, in particular the origin of the strategy, tactics of consensus, and interests of participants. Examining the strategy process in TSOs revealed that strategies originated in intent or event, promoters' consensus-tactics were conceived or improvised and participant's interests were fixed or shifting.
These findings on strategy process show varied origins, interests and consensus tactics in TSOs. They also seem to be associated with particular capacities in these organizations to perform their chosen activities, as well as with changes in mission. The study concludes with a discussion of the significance of these findings and a call for bridging the literatures on good management and effective social change, for further researching capacity building in TSOs, and encouraging initiatives for cross sector learning.

Abstract:

The challenge of rapid urbanisation and its attendant demands for infrastructure and services, confronts every local government in the developing world. The weakness of that local government compounds the enormity of the challenge. The most recent literature, on the general topic of Third World city management, does not offer a coherent set of interventions to deal with the urban or institutional aspects of city growth. This is despite some current work in multi-lateral development agencies and in academic circles. This thesis therefore seeks to develop a set of frameworks to guide future interventions in the urban management systems of developing countries. It does so by investigating the theory of institutional development and its application in the practice of urban management. It also analyses the literature on the function and form of Third World city management. The synthesis suggests three frameworks to guide the urban management process and its institutional development imperatives. These imperatives concern the integration, decentralisation and sustainability of the process. In turn, the process seeks to embrace the holistic nature of urban management. This holism includes the symbiotic relationship between the city and its governing institution. Ultimately, the intention is to present these frameworks as thinking checklists. These are designed to encourage both theorists and practitioners to discover solutions to the urban management challenge in their parts of the Third World.

Abstract:

Between the late 19th and early 20th century, European and world powers carried out a foreign policy based on political, economic and military subordination in many regions of the world. This policy was justified by the belief in the superiority of European civilization and the consequent right of Europeans to impose their control over indigenous populations. Imperialism established the right of the strongest to assert their own interests over the weak. The first European states to put into practice such a policy were Great Britain and France, followed by Belgium, Russia, Germany, and Italy. The limitations of imperialism at the end of 800 is accurate. In the early 19th century, European colonial policies seemed to have reached a certain stability. England retained the domain of large areas of the world which were exploited for what concerned raw materials, at the base of its global economic dominance. In the Twenties and Thirties England began a greater penetration in South Africa, in the Gulf of Guinea, in the Horn of Africa, Ceylon, Burma into China, after the First Opium War (1839-42) and in Australia. In turn, France was committed to building an empire almost equally impressive, focusing its attention on Southeast Asia and the Southern Mediterranean; in Asia, Germany occupied some islands in the Pacific and in Africa seized in Togo and Cameroon and established the colony of South-West Africa (now Namibia) and East Africa (now Tanzania); Italy also undertook a delay in conquering imperialist policy Eritrea, Somalia and Libya. Between the World Wars, the situation began to change. During the 1914-1918 conflicts, indigenous supported the homelands by supplying raw materials and soldiers, while powers promised reforms as reward; however, indigenous gradually became aware that the war they were fighting in, was not their war, but the homeland’s. And, when the war was over, and promised of reforms were not complied with, colonies experienced wave of protests which gradually led to declaration of independence. It was the beginning of decolonization. Together with decolonization, another important event was taking place. After the Second World War was over, the world got divided into two parts, the one pro-Western and the other pro-Soviet, respectively led by USA and URSS. Countries of the so called Third World, which had been, and some still were, colonies, decided, during the Conference of Bandung (1955), to look for a cohesion based on common characteristics of poverty and "backwardness" and to put together all the neutral countries during the Cold War. Those countries became known as Non Aligned Countries, or Non Aligned Movement (NAM). After the Cold War and the completion of decolonization, the NAM further underlined the North-South contraposition asking for a new international economic order. In 1980, the Brandt Report, acknowledging the interdependence of countries all over the world, aimed at promoting a joined development between North and South, and a fairer distribution of resources in order to keep world justice, stability and peace.

Abstract:

Hurricane Katrina devastated New Orleans, the Gulf Coast and the United States in August of 2005. While an emerging literature base details the consequences and lessons learned from Hurricane Katrina, a critical missing piece for understanding Hurricane Katrina American landfall is a rhetorical perspective. I argue a rhetorical perspective can significantly contribute to a better understanding of Hurricane Katrina’s implications for creating policy, community and identity. As a case study, I employ Kenneth Burke’s cluster analysis to examine the use of the label “Third World” to describe New Orleans, the Gulf Coast and the United States in the mass media coverage of Hurricane Katrina.

Abstract:

Discussion of the influence of the Soviet Union is often in vague terms. The term "Soviet influence" is usually used without concern for its clear definition. This paper attempts to deal with the notion of Soviet influence as it relates to the Third World, and to analyse the extent of Soviet influence in Third World nations. In doing this, three main questions are asked: What is influence? What evidence is there of Soviet influence? Can Soviet influence be measured? First, the notion of influence is defined. Second, criteria — the indicators of influence — for identifying and measuring, relatively, Soviet influence in the Third World are outlined and evaluated. The indicators form a simple methodology for examining Soviet influence. Third, the indicators are applied to two case studies — Somalia during the 1960s and 1970s, and Angola during the same time period. The indicators are: 1/ Domestic Dissonance 2/ Soviet Acquisition of Military, Naval and Air Facilities 3/ Soviet Goals and Objectives 4/ Attitudes and Perceptions of B 5/ Quantitative Measures of Trade, Aid and Personnel 6/ The Treaty of Friendship and Co-operation 7/ A Vanguard Party Certain indicators are of less significance than is usually assumed: the Treaty of Friendship and Co-operation, the Vanguard Party, Quantitative Measures of Trade and Aid, and Soviet Acquisition of Facilities. The most valuable indicators are Attitudes and Perceptions, Domestic Dissonance and possibly Personnel. The use of these indicators in conjunction with the analysis of a specific incident of attempted Soviet influence can determine the extent of Soviet influence. Analysts tend to attribute significant influence to the Soviet Union. However, often what is assumed to be significant influence involves mutual benefits and\or a lack of commitment to the issue by the Third World nation. Two factors are very important for determining the extent of Soviet influence: (1) The importance of the issue to the Third World nation; (2) The degree of conflict between Soviet objectives and those of the Third World nation. In the Somalia and Angola case studies, the extent of Soviet influence became evident when the Third World nation's vital interests were at stake. It is important not to over estimate Soviet influence, or to equate Soviet influence with Soviet control over a nation. The key to analysing inter-nation influence is realising that its extent can vary and it does have limitations.

Tippner, Jeffrey E. "The Third World evangelical missiology of Orlando E. Costas." Thesis, University of St Andrews, 2013. http://hdl.handle.net/10023/3278.

Full text

Abstract:

This thesis examines the missiological writings of Orlando E. Costas (1943-1987), particularly The Church and Its Mission: A Shattering Critique from the Third World (1974); Theology of the Crossroads in Contemporary Latin America (1976); Christ Outside the Gate (1982); and Liberating News: A Theology of Contextual Evangelization (1989). From the early 1970s until his death in 1987 he wrote over 130 articles and 12 books in both Spanish and English that addressed key missiological concerns. A careful reading of a selection of Costas's texts oriented around a hymn, a gospel song, a psalm, and a poem provides the shape of this thesis. This thesis argues that Costas formulated a Third World evangelical missiology. Chapter one investigates what Costas's autobiographical material expressed about his positions on conversion, Protestant evangelicalism, missiology, and those living on the ‘periphery' of life. Chapter two recognises his commitment to the peoples of Latin America and the Caribbean in particular and the Third World in general. Chapter three explores Costas's analysis of the Latin American Protestant Church in a revolutionary situation in the continent and chapter four examines his survey and critical appraisal of Latin American liberation theology. Chapter five recognizes the pastoral shape of Costas's missiology. Chapter six explores his critical interaction with two more conservative evangelical missiological positions, the Church Growth Movement and Peter Beyerhaus and the Frankfurt Declaration, and chapter seven surveys the discussion within the international evangelical community regarding the relationship between evangelism and social responsibility. Chapter eight examines Costas's Liberating News as an expression of Third World evangelical missiology. Chapter nine considers the theological issue of penal substitutionary atonement and his missiology. The thesis concludes with an appraisal of the issues and contributions of Costas's Third World evangelical missiology to current missiological discussion.

Abstract:

People in modern industrialized societies live a blessed life relative to those who do not when it comes to some modern conveniences. While many think nothing of flipping on a light switch or running electric appliances, there are people in third world countries could not imagine such things. As service projects are being undertaken to bring such conveniences to those less fortunate, there often is the harsh reality of a strict budget. An item that commands a large portion of said budget is often the diesel generator used to provide the facility with electricity. Generators serving motor loads are typically oversized due to a large kVA starting requirement. This paper addresses an approach to this problem by temporarily restricting the generator fuel supply by pulling back the rack of the mechanical governor reducing the frequency and voltage output as a motor load is switched onto the system. By reducing the voltage and frequency output of the generator, the motor is switched on at a time when its typically poor power factor and resulting kVA requirement is mitigated by the lower voltage and frequency allowing for a smaller generator to be used.

Abstract:

This thesis is an invitation to think about education as part of a progressive social movement. We, third world women educators, participate in a struggle over the politics of recognition and distribution. This thesis investigates the stories of five women teachers, including my own, who come from so-called third world countries. The research applies several theoretical perspectives on the lives of these women to assist me in understanding the experience of third world women teachers in times of change. The research draws on philosophical works of Henri Lefebvre, sociological perspectives of Dorothy Smith, and the cultural theory of Michel de Certeau and adopts a feminist neo-Marxist and cultural approaches as a way of explicating relations of power in the everyday, while articulating conceptual tools that challenges domination. This research comes from the perceived need to approach teaching differently (Sachs, 2016) and the thesis provides a platform through which to contribute to the ongoing debate in education by reimagining teaching differently as I undertake a journey “South” (Connell, 2007). I use “South” as a metaphor, to investigate the lived experiences of teachers who come from postcolonial nations, such as South America (Chile and Brazil) and South Africa. I represent these teachers’ “journeys” to Australia, as I critically engage with their stories of becoming teachers in this landscape. By undertaking an inquiry to South, this thesis challenges hegemonic forces in education, by representing the voices of third world women educators in education.

Full text

Abstract:

Settlement policy in the Third World has been stimulated by the availability of public land. This availability of public land has prompted many Third World countries to adopt policies or schemes called resettlement, transmigration, or land development. These have been presented as potential means for addressing numerous agendas held by Third World countries. Settlement policies have been used to increase agricultural production and make idle land productive. Spatial imbalances of population distribution have been addressed via settlement policies. For national security, settlement policies have been used to exploit frontier lands. Solutions to serious political problems including lack of agricultural self-sufficiency, poverty, landlessness, and unemployment have been sought through settlement policies. Huge amounts of financial resources have been invested in Third World planned settlements, however, their performance has not been very encouraging. If not completely abandoned by settlers, the settlements gave officials, planners, and policy makers cause for serious concern. For the most part, settlements have been costly relative to the number of settlers. In many instances, agricultural productivity was low. I have presented comparative case studies of land settlement policies which examine the factors that accounted for the success or failure of resettlement projects. I examined the resettlement projects from the point of view of the settlers in relation to the objectives of the policy makers. This study reports the findings of case studies concerning Iraq, Somalia, Ethiopia, the United Republic of Tanzania, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, and Israel. A comparative analysis of land settlement policies in Third World nations with varying political, social, and economic conditions is presented. It will be shown that land settlement policies in Third World countries, by and large, failed to reach objectives and are not now viewed as viable options for land development.

Gentry, Terry A. "Sustainable Development in the Third World: A New Paradigm?" PDXScholar, 1995. https://pdxscholar.library.pdx.edu/open_access_etds/4905.

Full text

Abstract:

Over the past decade '"Sustainable Development" (SD) has emerged as the latest development catchphrase. A wide range of nongovernmental as well as governmental organizations have embraced it as the new paradigm of development. A review of the literature that has sprung up around the concept of SD indicates, however, a lack of consistency in its interpretation. More important, while the all-encompassing nature of the concept gives it political strength, its current formulation by the mainstream of SD thinking contains significant weaknesses. These include an incomplete perception of the problems of poverty and environmental degradation, and confusion about the role of economic growth and about the concept of sustainability. The purpose of this study was to identify common elements in a political economy of the environment, relating environmental change to the dynamics of ideology and policy, and at different levels of political complexity. The intention was to provide a structural analysis of the environment in which the development process illuminates environmental change at both a philosophical and material level. The problem in achieving SD was related to the overriding structures of the international economic system, which have arisen out of the exploitation of environmental resources, and which frequently operate as constraints on the achievement of long-term sustainable practices. Insufficient accounting of ecological aspects of economic growth and development has resulted from intellectual traditions, where solutions are formulated, point in different directions. Conclusions are drawn that SD involves trade-offs between biological, economic and social systems and is found in the interactive zone between these systems. There are a number of international factors that may be necessary, but insufficient, conditions for SD on a national level, including peace, debt reduction, and more propitious terms of trade. There was seen dilemmas relating to SD, including the role of growth as the unquestioned objective of economic policy.

Abstract:

The end of bi-polarity in the world stage ushered in a period of hegemonic power decline and the sudden emergence of peripheral empowerment. This research undertaking attempts to reformulate World System theory, an antiquated theoretical perspective based on the periphery's economic dependence on core nation-states and the resultant exploitative relationship that occurs. Current events indicate that there are multiple demands of redress and restitution made by emancipated peripheral states. Such demands are increasingly addressed and heeded to in world conferences and various international organizations since 1989 and will be measured as absolute gains. A drastic change is also observed in the structure and function of both international governmental organizations (IGOs) and international-non governmental organizations (1NGOs) from being corecentric institutional bodies to supranational, authoritative entities which now have the capacity to promote rational progress through third world advocacy. Such changes are attributed both to the multi-polarity of the world stage and the cultural construction of rational progress. The new reformulation will discover that world- level socialism is not attainable. Rather, the only solution to weaken global stratification is the continued participation of peripheral states in worlBall State UniversityMuncie, IN 47306

This thesis applies the theory and method of Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) to examine the ideological components of the First World Problems (FWP) and Third World Success (TWS) Internet memes. Drawing on analytical concepts from CDA and related perspectives, such as multimodal discourse analysis and social semiotics, the paper analyzes the visual and textual elements of a sample of the FWP and TWS memes. The paper argues that the text and images featured in the memes are ideologically salient and discursively construct oppositional binaries between “us” and “them” in terms of wealth disparity.

Full text

Abstract:

This study empirically tested the two competing development theories--modernization and dependency/world-system. Theoretical and methodological approaches suggested by these two paradigms offer opposing interpretations of the incorporation of the Third World countries into the world capitalist system. Therefore, they provide conflicting and, at times, confusing guidelines on the ways available to enhance the well-being of the general populations in these countries. To shed light on the subject matter, this study uses a few specific indicators of economic growth and human development by comparing the outcomes based on the two conflicting paradigms. The comparative process allows us to confirm the one theoretical approach that best explains human conditions in Third World settings. The study focuses on specific aspects of foreign domination--foreign investment, foreign trade, foreign debt, and the resulting disarticulated national economies. The main arguement, here, conveys the idea that as far as Third World countries are tied in an inescapable and unilaterally benefitial (to the core countries of course) economic and political relations, there will be no hope for any form of sustainable economic growth. Human well-being in Third World countries might very well depend on their ability to develop self-reliant economies with the least possible ties to the world capitalist system.

Full text

Abstract:

The advent of the New World Order has challenged Syria's role in the Middle East. Traditionally viewed as a pariah state, and a Soviet satellite, Syria's future looked uncertain. Syria, however, has been able to accommodate the transformation in the world order. The New World Order amounted to a redistribution of global power. The transmutation of Soviet power towards the US culminated in a unipolar world order. The withdrawal of Soviet support through the advent of the New World Order threatened Syria's quest for regional hegemony. Existing in a state of anarchy, the co-ordinates of Syria's foreign policy have been founded upon the principles of self-help, national security, and national interest. These principles have found their expression through Syria's intractable struggle with Israel. Syrian foreign policy has been determined by two factors: primarily, by the international political system, and secondarily, by the influence of domestic politics. Omni balancing provides an explanatory model for foreign policy behaviour that bridges the divide between the determinants of the international political system and the influences of the domestic arena. Following a rational policy, the Syrian state was compelled to realign with the US- led world order, in order to pursue regional hegemony. It was able to display its accommodation of the New World Order by joining the US-led coalition forces in the liberation of Kuwait in 1990/1991. Syria's adjustment to the New World Order was rewarded with a place in the post-war regional order, and a central role in the Madrid Peace Conference.

Abstract:

This project involves the visual exploration of different social, cultural and spiritual experiences in both the Third World and the West, as a metaphor for the human condition. It draws upon the experiences of people living in various situations of poverty and hardship in both Western and Thirld World communities. Through this research program I have created a series of visual works, which explore and questions many of the different social, cultural and spiritual characteristics of groups of people experiencing situations of extreme poverty, neglect and hardship within both Western and Thrid World societies. The main research for this roject has involved creating crucial links between my art practice and my ongoing involvement in humanitarian/aid programs in Andhra Pradesh, India, working with people in impoverished Third World conditions, and social welfare work in the Northern Suburbs of Melbourne, Australia. By drawing on these two specific areas, this resear ch project explores the theme of poverty as a valid subject for the visual artist in establishing a broader metaphor for the human condition in the 21st century. This has involved testing new insights in this area in relation to contemporary fine art, the relationship between poverty and contemporary visual art and the investigation of the artist as a documenter of real life experiences in situations both inside and outside of the typical Western experience of living.

Abstract:

This thesis basically proffers a critical reexamination of the debate on the New International Information Order. It mainly accosts two problematic issues viz; the faulty conceptual framework adopted by a majority of the Third World member countries of the Non-Aligned Movement Under the auspicies of UNESCO to address the problems of international communication, and secondly, the inability of researchers - as a result of the limitations imposed by the North vs South polarization of the debate and the Third World leader's pedestrian conceptualization of the problems at hand - to focus on the operations of the Third World media in order to arrive at much more comprehensive generalizations. The starting point of this thesis is that it is not enough to concentrate on only one side of the coin. To fully understand the interconnections of neocolonialism and its symptomatic manifestations in the field of information and communication, we have to go beyond the polemical stance the debate and current research assumed. That is, it is not enough to accuse or heap all the blames on imperialism and neocolonialism. It is obvious most of the accusations levelled against the media of the advanced capitalist countries in their portrayal of the Third World countries are valid. But, to get to the roots of the problems i.e., the underlying causes of these problems at large, there is also a fundamental need to put the Third World media themselves under the same analytical microscope. It is with this in mind that we set out to analyse how the African media cover and project African affairs, taking Libya as a case study. The rational behind this endeavour is that since the African states have been accusing the media of the capitalist countries of ill treatment by negatively portraying them, the African media would somewhat cover and portray other African states in a more positive manner, particularly in the period of the debate and in its aftermath. Our results suggests the opposite. That is, there is no fundamental difference in how Libya was covered and projected to the outside world by both the African media in our sample (The Nigerian Daily Times, The Tanzanian Daily News and The Nairobi Standard) and The Times of London in the period 1970-1986. This we believe suggests that both the Third World media and the media of the advanced capitalist nations share some characteristics that makes them to operate along similar lines. They are to a certain extent, two sides of the same coin, which might suggest that, what we are confronted with in the field of international communication is a paradox of "a one world with a one voice" when it comes to the coverage of some contentious issues that threaten what is normally projected as the norm in society. Although these findings are tentative, we hope they will open avenues for further research in our efforts to fully understand the complexities not only of the information sector, but the whole institutional structures that underlie and give bearing to international relations, politics and economics.

Abstract:

The neo-liberal policies of liberalization and deregulation, as utilized by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) in its dealings with countries of the developing world, tend to facilitate the conditions for financial crisis. This can be traced by examining the economic crises of Mexico in 1982 and 1994/95, Asia in 1997 and Russia in 1998 and looking at the main causes and triggers of these crises. It is evident that the financial vulnerability that these countries suffered from existed due to, and not in spite of, these policy prescriptions. The IMF continues to present these policies as proven successes - a view that this dissertation contests. Further to this, the policies that the Fund uses are formulated for use in semi-peripheral economies and have little relationship to the actual economic environments of peripheral countries such as those of sub-Saharan Africa or Papua New Guinea. The ideology of free-markets and globalization is seen as unassailable by the IMF. By encouraging countries to remain part of the global financial system through debt rescheduling and open-markets policies, the IMF holds an increasingly fragile economic environment together. This dissertation formulates and tests four hypotheses in relation to Mexico, Asia, Russia and Papua New Guinea and the periphery. These are - (1) If there are periods of 'irrational exuberance' among investors in Third World debt, these are likely to contribute to debt crises. (2) If IMF policies are implemented in the Third World as dictated, then their primary benefits will accrue to the elites in those countries and in the developed world. (3) If Third World countries open their economies to foreign capital, then they are more likely to experience debt crises. (4) If IMF policies are implemented in peripheral countries, then they are even less likely to be successful than in semi-peripheral countries.

Abstract:

Images of Third World Women: Difference and Disjuncture in Development Representations This dissertation analyzes the use of images of women of the third world by the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA) during the Women in Development period (WID). This critical interpretative analysis examines how images as institutional texts function to reproduce notions of difference about women and the third world. The study looks at the disjuncture between the language and images of development and studies how media narratives circulate gender discourses through strands of colonial and race-based knowledges as normalized ways of classifying the world through imaginary categories. The study suggests that through recurrent representative tropes, WID facilitated the deliberate production of a development category that was highly identifiable – that of the third world woman. This focus on women allowed their images to assume immense circulatory value in CIDA development imagery so that depictions of third world women became representative of development itself. Operating as sign systems, these images of third world women also functioned as important symbols of the uniqueness of Canadian values. The study provides a framework for understanding development representations as powerful sign systems that prioritize and hierarchize preferred narratives.
Résumé Les Images des Femmes du Tiers Monde: Différence et Rupture dans les Représentations du Développement Cette thèse analyse l'usage des images des femmes du Tiers Monde par l'Agence Canadienne de Développement International (ACDI) durant la période 'Les Femmes dans le Développement' (FED). Cette analyse interprétative critique examine comment ces images, - en tant que textes institutionnels -, fonctionnent pour reproduire les notions de différence à propos des femmes et du Tiers Monde. Cette étude se penche sur la rupture entre le langage et les images du développement et analyse la manière dont les messages médiatiques véhiculent les discours relativement au genre par le truchement de formes résiduelles de savoirs colonial et racisé en tant que moyens normalisés de classifier le monde par l'entremise de catégories imaginaires. Cette étude suggère que, par l'entremise de catégories représentatives récurrentes, l'époque FED facilita la production délibérée d'une figure du développement fortement identifiable - celle de la femme du Tiers Monde. Cette tendance à cibler les femmes a permis à ces images d'assurer une immense valeur véhiculaire dans l'imaginaire du développement de l'ACDI, de sorte que ces images des femmes du Tiers Monde sont devenues elles-mêmes représentatives du développement. Fonctionnant comme systèmes de signes, ces images des femmes du Tiers Monde ont également opérés comme d'importants symboles de la singularité des valeurs canadiennes. Cette étude fournit un cadre pour comprendre les représentations du développement en tant que systèmes de signes puissants qui priorisent et hiérarchisent les préférences narratives.

Abstract:

This dissertation analyzes the origin of the free-flow doctrine, its role in the American mass media coverage of the Third World countries, and in the demand for a New World Information and Communication Order. This dissertation is also intended to serve as an up-date of the development to the call by the Third World, for a New World Information and Communication Order. These goals are accomplished through the application of the weapons of case study, a critical analysis of the United States policy on the mass media, a historical analysis of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization's documentary history of the New World Information and Communication Order in Chronological Order 1975-1986, and a comparative analysis of the New World Information and Communication Order (NWICO), and the International Programme for the Development of Communication(IPDC). The principal assumptions made in this dissertation are that the free flow of information which was strongly advocated and staunchly supported by the United States is a misnomer and a calculated attempt to monopolize the freedom of information dissemination. It also tends to be a successful mechanism for the implementation of the principles of the Darwinian Theory of natural selection - the survival of the fittest. This dissertation also assumes that the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) does not seem to be the best arena for correcting the ills prevalent in the global information and communication system.

Abstract:

This research explores the communication of the 'Third World' in the school curriculum, focusing particularly on its role, location and significance. Using data collected from two UK secondary schools the thesis combines ethnographic methods with theoretical perspectives from sociology, development studies and cultural studies. The conceptual focus of the research is on the ways the communication of the 'Third World' constructs notions of difference and identity in the school curriculum, informed by its location within three frameworks of meaning: development; charity; multiculturalism. The communication of the 'Third World' through each of these is addressed in turn, focusing particularly on the variety of notions of 'self, 'world' and ' other' which are constructed. Attention is also drawn to the epistemological foundations underpinning the different constructions of the 'Third World', and to the implications this has for engagements with notions of difference. The research seeks to explain the contradictions within and between the schools' communication of the 'Third World', emphasising the micro-politics of the schools and their location within a broader political context. In particular, attention is drawn to the role of the aims, structure, and organisation of the schools in informing the communication of the 'Third World', and to tensions between national and local curricular authority. It is argued that contradictions within and between the different constructions of the 'Third World' reflect changes in how the 'Third World' and development are understood. However, the potential improvements in its communication that this suggests are being constrained at both local and national levels. Thus, the research concludes by identifying policy initiatives which can both build on this potential, and prevent further prejudiced and discriminatory constructions of the 'Third World'. It also suggests further research which will enhance our understanding in this area.
