The New International Economic Order

In: Development Perspectives

Abstract

The international dissemination of cultural influences has enormously increased. Its ultimate cause is the advance of technologies in transport and electronic communications. Popular songs, styles in dress and hair styles, attitudes to divorce, abortion, homosexuality, drugs, even crimes, are spreading rapidly across the globe. While in previous ages the common culture was confined to a thin layer of the upper class, today it has reached the mass culture in many countries. In the huge underdeveloped regions of the south, however, the masses of people live in extreme poverty and cultural isolation, though a small upper class has become part of the international culture. Even among the élite, there are now moves to assert indigenous cultural values and to establish national and ethnic identities. It is partly a reaction against the rapid spread of the mass culture of the West.
