Notes

1. The terms “minority world” and “majority world” will be used to distinguish between those countries with the greatest access to the world's resources and smallest population – the minority world – and those with the smaller proportion of resources and the largest population – the majority world. These terms will be used in place of titles such as “developed” and “developing” worlds or “Third” and “First” worlds.

2. Turner (1993, p. 247) uses the term “national fiction”, while Balibar (1991, p. 50) refers to an “identity of origins, culture and interests” as “fictive ethnicity”.
