The emphasis is on conflict particularly the confrontation between East and West and the contention between rich industrialised nations and the poor developing nations. The book debates the causes of Western intervention, expansion and counter-revolution in the Third World and the consequences of that intervention for economic development. The spectrum and depth of the articles is both comprehensive and varied, including examples of mainstream academic perspectives on the issues examined, incorporating many of the radical critiques of these mainstream approaches.
