Abstract

Does the Third World exist as a category anymore and if so, does it make any sense? Where is it located? This essay attempts an analysis of this question with a view to reinscribing the idea of the Third World as a political, oppositional category in international relations and international law.

Keywords: International law, Third World, Postcolonial
