- catalog abstract ""This newly updated fourth edition re-examines the plight of Third World countries in light of the recent events and trends of the post-cold war world. As market forces become increasingly more influential, allowing for unprecedented growth and the accumulation of great wealth, many of the promises of the twentieth century continue to be transformed and abandoned. The vulnerability of developing nations has grown with the decrease of governmental action to stem the tide or find solutions for unchecked population growth, pollution, poverty and the widening gap between the rich and the poor. The fourth edition of Promises Not Kept examines these phenomena and shows how as the great east-west power struggle officially subsides the promise of a "peace dividend" to be shared by all nations recedes."--Jacket.".
