It was nothing less than the introduction of a new global economic order that would take the place of the old system of exploitation that the states of the so-called Third World were demanding in the 1970s and early 1980s. This book analyzes the rise and fall of this demand during the oil crises of the 1970s, which at first paved the way for the debate but soon became a great burden on the solidarity of the global South.
