Two International Organizations of the Third World

Abstract

What always struck me, in the many years during which I had the privilege of Professor Friedmann’s friendship, was his lively and imaginative understanding of the Third World and his remarkable knowledge of its problems. It is then surely appropriate that this study of two of the most important regional organizations of the Third World, should be one of the ways in which a tribute to the late Professor Friedmann can be made. I should like to begin by posing a number of questions, some of which were the constant theme of our unrelenting inquiries in friendly conversations that always seemed to develop into exchanges of questions and more questions.
