There are two major triangular relationships in contemporary world politics: Washington-Moscow-Peking, and USA-European Economic Community (EEC)-Japan. The first, the two superpowers and the emerging superpower of China (PRC), is characterized by a lack of mutual trust, ideological affinity, or common interests in global security or economic matters. The USA-EEC-Japan relationship, on the other hand, is based on common trust, common security and economic interests, common ideological factors, and on cultural affinities between the U.S. and the EEC.It is the great powers triangle of Washington- Moscow-Peking that has the greater importance and significance for global peace and for the avoidance of any nuclear war. Its impact is considerable in such parts of the Third Wbrld as the Middle East, East Asia, South and Southeast Asia, Southern Africa, and in many other regions.

Dispossession, contempt, and exploitation are the triangle upon which the domination of labor by capital has always been based in Mexico. During the twentieth century, peasant armies fought a successful revolution against two of the triangle's legs, forcing the powerful, through the Constitution of 1917, to return them land and show them respect. Under the presidency of Carlos Salinas de Gortari (1988-1994), however, there was a counterreform, dismantling the agrarian reform and other social rights achieved by the Mexico people during the revolution and after. The Partido de la Revolución Democrática emerged during Salinas's term to fight this assault. Today, however, it has become a vehicle for the political ambitions of many of the same politicians who surrounded Salinas. Under these circumstances, the Other Campaign proposed by the Ejército Zapatista de Liberación Nacional is the only honest response to the presidential campaign of 2006.

Do teachers and the public disagree on education reform? We use data from a nationally representative survey conducted in 2011 to identify the extent of the differences between the opinion of teachers and the general public on a wide range of education policies. The overall cleavage between teachers and the general public is wider than the cleavages between other relevant groups, including that between Democrats and Republicans. At least with respect to patterns of opinion on education reform, school politics is largely a conflict between producers within the system and consumers outside it – a classic iron triangle theme.
