Research Paper (postgraduate) from the year 2010 in the subject Politics - Topic: Development Politics, grade: 76%, University of Cape Town, course: International Relations Honours, language: English, abstract: The end of the Cold War, some have argued,1 has dealt the three worlds classification scheme
a fatal blow and the break-up of the former Soviet Union and the associated disintegration of
the Second World has to a large extent diminished the rationale which underlay the concept
of the Third World.2 Furthermore, from its heyday in the 1970s, Third Worldism has been on
a path of terminal decline due to a number of factors, such as disproportionate economic
development among Third Worldist states,3 political differences and the failure to establish a
"common programme for international economic and political reform."4 Within the literature
relating to Third Worldism, the concept of the Third World itself, and the three worlds
scheme, there is a lively debate with some arguing that the concept has become an
anachronism,5 others maintaining that the concept maintains significance in the contemporary
era. Furthermore, while there is general consensus within the literature that Third Worldism
has experienced a declining trend, some argue that there is both the need and space for a
revival of Third Worldism.6
