Third Worldism
An ideology that began in 1947 in which mostly developing nations not committed to either the East or the West in the Cold War professed policies of ""neutralism"" and ""nonalignment."" Since the 1970s, Latin American states have moved increasingly from a position of political and economic alignment with the United States to one of sympathy with Third Worldism.
