摘要
在众多20世纪诞生的政治分析中,“第三世界”这一概念的含义尤其丰富,影响特别深远。这一概念本身就蕴含了世界各个民族国家之间形成的某种结构性、等级性的关系。从经济上来说,第三世界包括了处于世界经济分工体系中下层的国家,从政治和历史上来说.
The concept and analysis of the"Third World"was one of the most important and enduring contributions from the 20th-century revolutions.The mainstream views tend to naturalize the stark disparity between the rich and poor countries,thus downplaying the significance of the Third World perspective.This essay provides a critique of the mainstream explanations of the Third World underdevelopment.In particular,I highlight the importance of the political economy of development,including class politics and surplus utilization based on Paul Baran's pioneering work,and the economy of scale in modern industries.I argue that the collaboration between China and the rest of the Third World will be essential for establishing an alternative world order that facilitates real improvements for the entire world.
