Three propositions are put forward: that the overriding interest of American foreign policy maker is in the stability of the global system of relationships; that this interest coincides with most Third World élites; and that the global system normally operaRoutledge library editions.Development.United StatesForeign relationsDeveloping countriesDeveloping countriesForeign relationsUnited States327.730172/4Girling J.
