After 1945, Western countries witnessed the awakening of the Third World.People of underdeveloped countries, who had been subjected to domination bydeveloped Western countries, showed an interest towards a project of the ThirdWorld; the underlying motto of which was shaped by disarmament, peace, andsocial and economic justice. This project aimed to embody a radical break fromthe economic, political, social, and cultural paths which were devised in the Westand then imposed on the rest of the world. This paper will analyze thehistoriography of this project. In this context, this paper will approach suchliterature from the lenses of social movements that emerged in the Third World,of nation states and of international relations. Through social movements, it willfirstly focus on the people’s struggles in the different regions of the so-calledThird World. Secondly, the paper will analyze academic works whose mainsubject is the anti-imperialist struggles of different nationalist governments. Andlastly, it will criticise scholarly works on the Non-Alignment Movement, which pursued an anti-imperialist and anti-colonialist political agenda at theinternational level.
