Abstract: The expectations of the new states toward the international society are shaped by their relationships with each other and with the superpowers. Neither set of relationships has proved to be stable in the decolonization era. Increasing cleavages in the group of new states and shifting priorities in the foreign policies of the United States and the Soviet Union attest to the fluidity of the contemporary environment. As the new states press their demands for social justice and economic development in the councils of international organizations, they reject ad hoc procedures and seek "legislative" outcomes. If issue-areas become more autonomous in the next two decades, the fate of established "trade-off patterns" will become uncertain, although some form of interregional or interfunctional bargaining is likely to persist. The authority of international organizations will remain contingent during the period of the 1970's when the new states will concentrate on consolidating the gains of the immediate postindependence years.
