The end of colonialism and the decline of Cold War bipolarity mean that the United States and the Soviet Union must find new ways of relating to a Third World that is growing increasingly influential and is seeking ways to be master of its own destinies. Over the past decade and more, there has been a marked growth in regional organizations within the Third World designed to deal with the related problems of solving internal disputes and reducing the role of outside powers in regional affairs. These organizations have mixed records, and some could pose threats to broader global interests, including those of the United States and the USSR. Nonetheless, the trend toward regionalization is pervasive, and in many cases regional groupings can deal with problems that the superpowers no longer can or want to handle. Moscow and Washington must judge each case on its own merits, but their general approach should be to let regional groupings carry as much of the burden as possible.

THE END OF COLONIALISM AND THE DECLINE OF COLD WAR BIPOLARITY MEAN THAT THE UNITED STATES AND THE SOVIET UNION MUST FIND NEW WAYS OF RELATING TO A THIRD WORLD THAT IS GROWING INCREASINGLY INFLUENTIAL AND IS SEEKING WAYS TO BE THE MASTER OF ITS OWN DESTINY. THERE HAS BEEN A MARKED GROWTH IN REGIONAL ORGANIZATIONS WITHIN THE THIRD WORLD DESIGNED TO DEAL WITH THE RELATED PROBLEMS OF SOLVING INTERNAL DISPUTES AND REDUCING THE ROLE OF OUTSIDE POWERS IN REGIONAL AFFAIRS. THESE ORGANIZATIONS HAVE MIXED RECORDS, AND SOME COULD POSE THREATS TO BROADER GLOBAL INTERESTS, INCLUDING THOSE OF THE USA AND THE USSR. NONETHELESS, THE TREND TOWARD REGIONALIZATION IS PERVASIVE, AND IN MANY CASES REGIONAL GROUPINGS CAN DEAL WITH PROBLEMS THAT THE SUPERPOWERS NO LONGER CAN OR WANT TO HANDLE. MOSCOW AND WASHINGTON MUST JUDGE EACH CASE ON ITS OWN MERITS, BUT THEIR GENERAL APPROACH SHOULD BE TO LET REGIONAL GROUPINGS CARRY AS MUCH OF THE BURDEN AS POSSIBLE.
Instability and political repression are two reasons why many states in Africa are unable to develop. African regional organizations have the potential to encourage democracy, stability and development within their regions if they have the right tools. Using case studies of two major interventions by African regional organizations this thesis will determine what those tools may be. Both the intervention of ECOWAS into Liberia and the SADC into the DRC were rife with problems but they were able to bring some stability and even democracy to states in crisis. This thesis finds that African regional organizations can promote democracy and stability, but the focus is always on stability for the region. With strong institutions and mandates, policy agreement and strong leadership, African regional organizations can bring stability, development and even democracy to their regions. ; 2013-05-01 ; M.A. ; Sciences, Political Science ; Masters ; This record was generated from author submitted information.

Since World War II, the focus of power in the international labor movement is no longer in Europe. Events, in which American labor has played a significant role, have favored a definite trend toward decentralization and the strengthening of regional organization. This has been secured in part by the establishment of regional (Asian, European, Latin American) offices by inter national federations of unions in specific trades or industries, and in part by the creation of regional organizations in Europe, the Americas, and Asia by the In ternational Confederation of Free Trade Unions. The author discusses some of the problems involved in these trends, the specific difficulties which face the ex tension of the movement to Africa, and the rivalry between the leading world confederations of labor, the ICFTU and the Communist World Federation of Trade Unions.—Ed.
