ABSTRACT

This is an attempt to study the development of interaction between the international system — with a focus on the superpower system — and the Arab and African regional systems — also with a focus on their interaction with the international system. My goal is to try to trace the future course of this interaction, which could be interpenetrational, parallel or non-parallel, and have different results depending on the form it takes. Thus the discussion will deal with the following:

The interaction between the International System and the Two Regional Systems

Regional Interaction between the Arab and the African Systems within the International Framework

International Penetration of the Two Regional Systems in the Future
