    South” From the Third
    World
    Arowwai Industries

    FIRST WORLD
     Encompasses all industrialized,
    democratic countries, which are
    assumed to be allied with the US
    in its struggle against the Soviet
    Union.
     Rich Countries
    Arowwai Industries

    SECOND WORLD

    Anchored on the industrialized, communist realm of the


    Soviet Union and its Eastern European Satellites, yet it often
    included poor communist states located elsewhere.
    Average Level countries
    THIRD WORLD

     Refers to countries that did not belong to either types of formal

    economies.

     Former colony of European countries.

     Defined as the non-aligned world and as the global realm of poverty and

    under-developed.
    • Global South and Third world are conceptually the same.
    • They refer to conditions usually found in developing
    countries.
    • Third world is antecedent of Global South.
    • Arguably, the term Third World ceased to exist when the
    Cold War ended.
    BSA 1 - G 3 - CONTEMPORARY WORLD REPORTING

    COLD WAR: IDEOLOGIES


     The world was once categorized based on the economic ideology
    of Western Capitalism against the Soviet Union’s Socialism.

    economic freedom

     SOCIALISM – characterized by state control of the means of


    production, distribution, and exchange.
    BSA 1 - G 3 - CONTEMPORARY WORLD REPORTING

    COLD WAR: IDEOLOGIES

     Capitalist Economies were considered FIRST WORLD, whereas

     Socialist Economies were referred to as SECOND WORLD.

     Those that did not belong to either types of formal economies

    belong to THIRD WORLD; Neither capitalist nor socialist.
