The Political Economy of East-South Relations

Abstract

The discussion and overall assessment of East-West balance has ignored the economic dimensions of East-South relations. This paper examines the political and economic relations between the industrialized socialist CMEA countries of Eastern Europe and the Third World, focusing on the dynamics of trade, aid and technology transfer. It attempts to achieve a greater understanding of the recent evolution, its present state and possible developments in East-South relations. As the Soviet and East European stake has increased in the international order they have become an alternative source of trade, credit and technology for the South. However, their active involvement in the South still leaves much to be desired and is also a stark illustration of the handicaps they suffer as a result of their limited international capabilities.
