THIRD WORLD RESURGENCE

We are pleased to introduce you to the Third World Resurgence magazine. This monthly magazine is published by the Third World Network which has its international secretariat based in Penang. The aim of the magazine is to give a Third World perspective to the whole range of issues confronting the Third World namely, the environment, health and basic needs, international affairs, politics, economics, culture, and so on.
