( These essays, originally presented at a conference held...)
These essays, originally presented at a conference held at the University of Pennsylvania in March 1984, show that particular U.S. policies have played an important role in engendering resentment of the United States in the so-called Third World. The first chapter presents an overview of the problem and proposes the structure of an approach to it, including a typology of anti-Americanism. This is followed by essays which are country-specific or regional in scope (Mexico, Latin America, the Arab World, Turkey, South Asia, Malaysia, Africa) in which the contributors flesh out some of the cultural, ideological, and historical factors which have influenced the particular expressions of anti-Americanism in various parts of the third world. Finally, three contributors analyze the phenomenon in functional areas (the multinational corporations, the United Nations) and in terms of implications for the United States.

( The Soviet-Egyptian relationship after the June War of ...)
The Soviet-Egyptian relationship after the June War of 1967 was a new one for both countries, and its consequences were of global importance. Drawing on all available Soviet and Arab materials, Alvin Rubinstein develops the concept of influence as an analytical tool and explores in comprehensive fashion the diplomatic, military, political, and economic aspects of the influence relationship between the two nations in recent years. The author's approach is chronological, analytical, and oriented toward the issues. He finds that the relationship has been fundamentally asymmetrical in aims and accomplishments. Egypt's remarkable comeback after the June War would not have been possible without Soviet aid, but Moscow benefited primarily in the context of the Soviet-American strategic rivalry in the Middle East, and only peripherally in terms of influence over Egypt. Considering broader Soviet-Third World relationships, the author shows that there is no demonstrable correlation between intensified interactions and influence, that an extensive presence is no assurance of influence, and that Soviet influence can seldom be exercised at will in the absence of an ability to project Soviet military power directly.

( Yugoslavia's importance to the evolution of nonalignmen...)
Yugoslavia's importance to the evolution of nonalignment is emphasized as Alvin Z. Rubinstein examines the domestic and foreign determinants shaping Yugoslavia's turn to the new nations of Asia and Africa and its role in pioneering nonalignment. He discusses the policies of Yugoslav leaders in their search for security and international influence and traces the many ways in which Yugoslavia established close ties to the nonaligned nations to become the only European country prominent among the nonaligned. He analyzes the relationship between Tito and Nasser, Belgrade's role in the Moscow-Peking rift, the interaction between Yugoslavia and the nonaligned countries in the United Nations, and nonalignment's changing role in the international relations of the postwar era.
