This work examines the changing position of the Developing World within the world system. It focuses on particular issues which cut across communities, nations, regions and, in consequence, the world such as migration, health and disease, the media, transnational corporations, religion, and political and economic institutions. The contributors draw on illustrations and global examples to examine topics such as HIV/AIDS transmission, the mediatized Gulf War, consumption patterns, the Third World in the First, Orientalism and Islam, environmental and urban movements, liberation theology in Latin America and the impact of the media. The book provides a critical introduction to the Third World around the unifying theme of globalization.
