This review is from: The Challenge to the South: The Report of the South Commission (Paperback)
"The Challenge to the South : The Report of the South Commission" is a lingering reminder of the now disappeared Third World nonaligned movement of the 1950s and 1960s, which decolonization and the Cold War conflict between the USSR and the US made possible.
The South Commission represents the governments of the nonaligned countries and "The Challenge to the South : The Report of the South Commission" remains a very important and relevant critique of the antidemocratic, neoliberal model of "development" that the West is forcing on the Third World.
The South Commission, reflecting the interests of most of the world's population, calls for a world order based on democracy, justice and the type of bottom-up, holistic social development which Western investors and Western government leaders abhore. A fascinating and informative book that reveals the real needs of the world in the new millennium.
