Abstract

New ways are needed of framing the international politics of development in the context of global restructuring. The old thinking that employed such terms as ‘Third World’, ‘developing countries’, ‘core and periphery’, even ‘North’ and ‘South’ needs to be abandoned. It does not travel well into a globalizing world. New interpretations of international inequality emerged in the 1990s - the so-called ‘Bretton Woods’ and ‘United Nations’ paradigms - and are linked to attendant economic liberal and sociological strands of political economy analysis. But both approaches underplay politics. However, the new global politics of development can be satisfactorily framed, provided that we adopt an approach that takes globalization seriously, recognizes the continuing, albeit changing, realities of states and interstate politics and reinterprets development as a universal problem. Attempts to classify states and societies in advance of research must also be avoided.
