The State of the Second World

Graeme Snooks

Chapter 5 in Global Transition, 1999, pp 79-103 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Formerly an entity with its own objectives and dynamic, the Second World is currently in complete disarray. While it consists of societies in transition, their paths and destinations are not at all clear at this stage. Some, such as the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, the Russian Federation, and Belarus, appear to be in transition from former antistrategic countries (FASCs) to strategic countries (SCs). Others, such as the Kyrgyz Republic, Uzbekistan, Azerbaijan, and Albania, could well be in transition from FASCs to nonstrategic countries (NSCs). Those in between may have to be satisfied in the foreseeable future with emerging strategic country (ESC) status. It will all depend on their varying abilities to engage with the global strategic transition (GST) by developing a viable dynamic strategy. This variety of dynamic outcomes is usually overlooked by those who see these societies moving as a group from command to market systems.
