GOVERNANCE OF GLOBAL SOUTH (1/2)

✓In an attempt to balance the West and with an Eye on the North, India is hoping to rally the ‘South’. The theme of the recently held two-day virtual Voice of the Global South 2023 Summit - “Unity of Voice, Unity of Purpose” - is India’s attempt to add another note to the chorus of the global order.

✓The forum is also about India reconnecting with a global group of nations that had fallen off the Indian foreign policy radar since the end of the Cold War.


What is Global South?

✓The term ‘Global South’ began by loosely referring to those countries that were left out of the industrialisation era and had a conflict of ideology with the capitalist and communist countries, accentuated by the Cold War.

✓It includes countries that are mostly in Asia, Africa and South America.

✓Moreover, Global North is defined essentially by an economic division between the rich and poor countries. Global North’ refers loosely to countries like the US, Canada, Europe, Russia, Australia and New Zealand.

✓Global South’ is significant because of its large population, rich cultures, and abundant natural resources.


ISSUES WITH THE GLOBAL SOUTH

✓Economic inequality
✓Political instability
✓Lack of infrastructure
✓Climate change
✓Limited human capacity
