The improvement of relations between developed and developing countries can only be conceived within the framework of the evolution of the international system as a whole. It does not depend on the international cooperation programs of the industrialized countries, nor on the concessions taken from them by the pressure produced by the organization of the developing countries. It depends on the structural reforms that are introduced by mutual agreement in an international system that has become one. In this paper we argue that the integration of peripheral countries in the transnational system is a process that presents a considerable margin of ambiguity, which should induce them to explore the possibilities of articulating strategies of "selective participation" in the system.
