Global South Studies

Global South Studies is an interdisciplinary field that examines the social, political, economic, and cultural issues of countries traditionally labeled as the "Global South," which includes regions like Africa, Latin America, Asia, and parts of Oceania. It challenges Western-centric views, focusing on development, anti-colonial struggles, and the perspectives of marginalized societies. By exploring historical contexts, power dynamics, and local experiences, this field promotes a more inclusive understanding of global inequalities and emphasizes the resilience and agency of nations in the Global South.
