Third World : Majority World

Developing countries, the Third World, the South - all out of date and inaccurate terms. Since the 1990s, the term the Majority World has been used to represent the countries where the majority of humankind reside. For the last four decades, the NI magazine has provided an in-depth analysis of issues relevant to the Majority World - poverty, human rights, climate change, materialism and inequality and the disparity between the haves and have-nots. Now this important library of information of historical and current issues is available digitally in the NI Archive, an invaluable reference for students and anyone with an interest in social and environmental justice.
