Economic and social issues are described in part 3 in terms of: (1) jobs and international trade; (2) oil and energy; (3) the international debt crisis; and (4) immigration and refugees. Part 4 considers critical world regions, including the USSR, the Atlantic Alliance, Lebanon and Israel, Iran and Iraq, Central America, Japan, China and Taiwan, South Africa and Namibia, and developing nations.
