In this study examination of the concept of the Third World, Hiller contended that the Third World was shaped by colonialism and imperialism. For Hiller, the legacies of colonialism and imperialism have endowed developing countries with unique socio-economic attributes, leading to a development trajectory distinct from that of developed nations. In numerous scholarly works on global environmental politics, Hiller examined the strategies employed by these marginalized states within the framework of international environmental negotiations.
