Rudimentary economic regionalism is evident in other parts of the world. A year and one-half ago, Argentina organized the Latin American Free Trade Area to improve the economic bargaining power power of member states. A Central American Common Market is also in nominal existence. The Arab League has indicated a desire to exapnd its economic authority beyond the present provisions for boycott of Israel. Under Soviet hegemony Eastern Europe has been a 'free trade' area for over a decade. And the feeble Ghana-Guinea economic union is at least an indication of the regionalist predeliction of the young states...
...Competitive emulation" is an admittedly dubious term, but "creeping regionalism" is not. For regionalism is spurred on not only by the desire to emulate success but by growing feelings of regional solidarity.

Half of the rebellion's $80 million annual budget comes from Arab countries, but the other half comes from Communist China.

Despite a sneering, officious manner, Beer rose swiftly in government circles. In 1954, he dropped out of the Marxist...
...Revolution which Kassim led was rooted in Iraqi and Arab Nationalism, just as Castro drew strength from Cuban and Latin-American aspirations. Both leaders lacked Communist Party support at the outset; in each case the Party opportunistically gained an entree into the Revolutionary governments, and the organized Left helped fill gaps in the ruling cadres. Just as Castro villified the U.S. as a self-interested upholder of the regime which he had crushed, so Kassim assailed the British. Quite contentedly, Moscow cheered them both...
