The Foreign Policy Priorities of Third World States

edited by John J. Stremlau

Despite the growing economic interdependence that binds industrialized and developing countries-as well as the risk that regional conflict in the Third World could escalate into a major confrontation between the United States and the USSR-relatively little has been published on how governments in Asia, Latin America, and Africa pursue their international interests. This collection, especially intended for university courses in international relations, is designed to fill that gap by highlighting the changing foreign policy priorities of the diverse group of 120 developing nations.

The authors identify and analyze key factors in recent trends in the international relations of Third World countries. Each chapter is problem oriented and reflects an appreciation that Third World governments face real, if very limited, choices as they seek to enhance simultaneously their national security and their economic well-being.

John J. Stremlau is associate director of international relations at the Rockefeller Foundation and an adjunct professor of political science at Columbia University. One of his recent publications is The International Politics of the Nigerian Civil War.

Guide

This volume originated in a graduate seminar on the foreign policies of developing countries at Columbia University's School of International Affairs. The seminar encourages students to seek a better understanding of how governments in the Third World have adapted to the unprecedented international diffusion of political and economic power that affects their self-determination and national welfare in new and complex ways. The enthusiastic response to this collection, when it was initially published in 1980 as a special issue of Columbia's journal of International Affairs, suggests that it could serve to fill a gap in international relations curricula as well as being of use as a general reference for scholars engaged in more advanced research on contemporary foreign policies of developing countries.

Few international relations instructors have the time or background to adequately introduce students to the difficult foreign policy choices that confront the diverse range of 120 countries that compose the Third World. Despite the many dramatic examples of economic interdependence that bind industrialized and developing countriesas well as the risk that regional conflict in the Third World could escalate to a major confrontation between the United States and the Soviet Unionrelatively little has been published on how governments in Asia, Latin America, and Africa develop and pursue their foreign policy strategies. The contributors do not analyze the foreign policy priorities of particular governments; rather they attempt to provide the reader with an appreciation of recent trends in the international behavior of Third World countries.

Each chapter is problem oriented and encompasses both security and economic issues. The first four chapters fall in the domain of political science; the rest cover topics usually dealt with by economists. Such disciplinary distinctions, however, have little relevance for analyses of contemporary international relations. The selection of topics reflects our collective desire to question whether the "North-South" issues that feature so prominently in debates and in Western journals and newspapers are, in fact, of vital concern to policymakers in developing countries.

Although we tried to accurately reflect the perceptions of elites in developing countries, it should be noted that most of us are not nationals of these countries; our views are doubtlessly influenced by our Western education and by our particular experiences in the handful of nations in which we have had the privilege to be temporary residents. We hope future case studies that analyze the foreign policy priorities in important Third World capitals will test the assumptions that shaped the scope and content of this book.
