註釋

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.
