L'industrialisation du tiers monde

The industrialization of the third world. The third world is not what it used to be. It is becoming an exporter of manufactured goods and nearly 60 % of the world industrial population is living to-day in the developing countries. The most visible part of this industrialization is largely due to the effects of the slump and of the fuel crisis in the 70s. After the different attempts of industrial development in the 60s, an extrovert type of industrialization followed, notably for the countries which do not have vast home markets. However, it is necessary to define the limits and the reality of this industrialization. World economy remains largely dominated by the developed countries. Industrialization has often increased external dependence (food and finance). Anarchic, explosive urbanization is threatening economic and social stability. Only the countries situated in the North Pacific area, which is becoming the centre of gravity for world economy have a less precarious situation. One form of industrialization may hide another
