Concept information
Preferred term
Global South
Definition
- The phrase the global South has a particular meaning in the context of neoliberal globalization and the associated anti-systemic transnational movements. Global South is not a replacement for the term Third World, discarded because of its historical association with the Cold War, nor is it a variation on the categories “developing” or “underdeveloped.” The global South is a political concept with theoretical roots informed by global patterns of domination and resistance and hence goes beyond state-centric First World-Third World dichotomies.
