Document Summary
Highly political when we label groups of countries. The way we should refer to third world countries is the global. South : no means implying that it is one big entity, but rather the specific countries that are considered developing. The interplay of interests: who represents who, who is not represented, who wins and who loses . The history of the world suggests that there are groups that do better than others. Ex: china, india and brazil play very different roles in terms of global climate versus places like bangladesh the history of the world suggests that there are groups that do better than others. Development as a public good: if there is anything that development represents, it has to affect everybody; you can"t opt out or opt in. Ex: if canada becomes less of an industrial country, it will affect all of canada and more of the benefits are shared, etc. (the societies are moving forward not backwards)
