Remember
We understand the Global South as:
The Global South is geographically used to identify countries and regions in Latin America, Africa, and Asia. In our collective exercise we decided to also include Central and Eastern Europe.
Most of humanity resides in the Global South. Many of the countries that geographically constitute the Global South have low-income economies and struggle with social and economic inequality and fragile democratic institutions or authoritarian/autocratic systems of governance. Many of them are also experiencing the consequences of being current or former subjects of colonialism imposed by countries in the Global North.
They are also characterized by their strong democratic traditions rooted in their traditional or indigenous systems of governance.
- We understand the Global South as a political category.
- We also understand that the Global South is not a monolith.
