Developing Nations in the United States
Concept of Developing Nations
In the U.S., in the context of Foreign Affairs and National Defense, Developing Nations has the following meaning: A term used to refer to nation states whose economic and political structures are not well developed, in relation to the wealthier, industrialized world. Developing nations have low income levels and agricultural or resource-based economies, but are making efforts to industrialize and boost income. The term has numerous variants (e.g., less developed nations, Third World nations) and its use is sometimes controversial since it implies that western industrialism is the standard for judging development.
