THE ISSUE OF PROTECTING INDEPENDENCE AND SOVEREIGNTY OF DEVELOPING COUNTRIES IN THE PRESENT CONTEXT

Abstract

Accounting for nearly 80% of the global population and occupying three quarters of the world’ area, the developing countries are affirming their roles in the global progress. However, the independence and sovereignty of these countries are often faced with many challenges stemming from upheavals in the international security environment, globalization, violence policies of big countries and power competition among them. In this context, in order to preserve their independence and sovereignty, the developing countries need to build democratic and progressive states, improve their real national strengths, struggle against the “peaceful evolution” of the powerful nations. This paper analyzes factors which influence the independence and sovereignty as well as the current process of struggling and defending the independence and sovereignty of the developing countries
