SYNOPSIS: Ties That Bind: Canada and the Third World is a primer in the politics and economics of unequal development. It describes a world system that produces inequality and poverty by design rather than by accident, a system in which Canada plays an integral part. The book's five essays cover subjects central to an understanding of the predicament of third World countries. The first analyzes the kind of information Canadians get about the Third World - and the misconceptions that arise, such as the dominant "tyrant and victim" image of underdevelopment. Others deal with the lopsided economy of North-South ties; the quixotic roles of transnational corporations; the failures of foreign aid; the spreading disease of militarism. Canada's ambiguous role in world affairs has not just prevented development; it has perverted it. Ties That Bind argues the need for radical change in the present world system and calls for Canadians to work in solidarity with the numerous popular movements in the Third World that are fighting for social justice and revolution. The editors are staff members of the Development Education Centre, a research and educational collective engaged in promoting critical awareness of development and underdevelopment in Canada and the Third World.
