This study attempts to answer why the policies of the five countries covered are marked by a greater degree of "humane internationalism" than those of other Western countries. It discusses what it is that causes the variations between the policies of these five countries. By humane internationalism the authors understand an acknowledgement that rich countries have an obligation to alleviate poverty in the Third World and that fair North-South relations are in the best long-term interest of the North.
