Global South

The Global South refers to a group of countries located mainly in Africa, Latin America, Asia, and parts of the Caribbean that are often considered less economically developed compared to countries in the Global North, like the United States and Europe. This term emphasizes a shared experience of historical colonization, economic challenges, and social issues, rather than strictly geographical differences. It highlights disparities in wealth, development, and power dynamics in global affairs, encouraging perspectives that focus on the voices and experiences of these countries in discussions about international relations, economics, and sustainable development.
