ABSTRACT
This chapter explains the legal and political dilemmas facing developing countries during the Cold War period and contrasts them with the international position today. The first section, covering the period between the Bandung Conference and the adoption of the UN Resolutions on the New International Economic Order (NIEO), shows how developing countries managed to come together and influence the development of international law. The second section, focusing on the outlines of the legal framework of economic globalisation, identifies the main factors responsible for the demise of the Bandung spirit among developing countries. It focuses on the legal strategies employed by developed countries to deepen the process of globalisation and on the divisive consequences for them of global economic integration.
