ABSTRACT
The problem, as we have seen, is the nature of American involvement in Third World societies which leads, under certain conditions, to intervention. It has both political and moral dimensions. The political dimension is the involvement of a super-power seeking to maintain ‘world order’: at each level of the patron-client international hierarchy— national, regional and global; and through the various forms of power, military, political and economic: to influence, induce or compel ‘satisfactory’ behaviour by others.
