Abstract
This chapter reviews the Third World project of the national and social liberation of the period 1946 to 1979, formulated by the giants of the anti-colonial struggles of the Third World. It analyzes the derailing of the Third World project, in conjunction with the imposition of the neoliberal project, with the cooperation of accommodationists of the Third World, powerfully criticized by Fidel. This chapter maintains that there has been a renewal of the Third World project of since 1994. In Latin America, a political change has occurred, represented by ALBA, UNASUR, and CELAC. In the Third World as a whole, the renewal is evident in the formation of BRICS and in the retaking of the historic Third World agenda by the Non-Aligned Movement.
