Abstract
The term “Cold War” was used to describe the tension between the United States and the Soviet Union that was based on social, philosophical, economic, and political differences. The Cold War between the superpowers began to wind down in the mid-1980s, and finally ended with the collapse of the Soviet Union in December 1991. Yet, another Cold War remains. This one is between the West and the Third World. Like the Cold War with the Soviet Union, it also began after World War II, and is based on the social, philosophical, economic, and political differences between the Third World and the West. Yet, there has been scant acknowledgment that it even exists.
