    The document discusses the concepts of the Global North and Global South. It states that the Global North refers to wealthy, developed countries like the US, Canada, and Europe, while the Global South covers poorer, developing regions like Africa, Latin America, and parts of Asia. It provides a table contrasting characteristics between the two, such as population size, wealth levels, and levels of industrialization. The document also discusses older concepts from the Cold War era that divided countries into First, Second, and Third Worlds based on their economic and political alignments. It notes how these definitions have evolved over time, with terms like "Global North" and "Global South" becoming more commonly used today.

    WORLD OF

    GLOBAL DIVIDES: NORTH &
    SOUTH
    • Global North and South are commonly used to refer to the two
    halves of the current global system.
    • ECONOMICALLY, Global North refers to the rich and developed
    parts of the world (GDP is above the world’s GDP), while the
    Global South covers the poor and developing half of it (GDP is
    below the world’s GDP).
    • POLITICALLY, the Global North is more powerful as an entity, if
    its collective strength at the SC will be taken into consideration.
    • CULTURALLY, diversity reigns in both the North and the Global
    South

    BRANDT LINE- is an imaginary division that has provided a
    rough way of dividing all the countries in the world in to the
    rich north and poor south. (Many countries in the poor south
    have become more developed since 1980s and so many
    people now think that it is no longer useful.)
    The terms Global North and Global South, and First
    World and Third World are used interchangeably in
    common conversation. Though these two sets of
    concepts are related, they are actually different.
    The origins of concept of “three worlds” model of
    geopolitics arose in mid-20th century and is credited
    to ALFRED SAUVY, who coined the term “third world”
    in a 1952 article entitled “Three Worlds, One Planet”.
    The terms First World, Second World, Third World date
    back to the Cold War, when Western policymakers began
    talking about the world as three distinct political and
    economic blocs (Tomilson, 2003).

    FIRST WORLD- Western Capitalist


    SECOND WORLD- Soviet Union and its allies (socialist)
    THIRD WORLD- Other countries that doesn’t belong to
    any of the two
    A new and simpler classification, North-South, was created
    as Second World countries joined either the First World or the
    Third World. First world countries, such as the US, Canada,
    Europe, and developed parts of Asia are regarded as the
    “Global North,” while the “Global South” includes Caribbean,
    Latin America, South America, Africa, and parts of Asia.
    Today, the powerful economies of the West are still
    sometimes described as “First World”, but the term “Second
    World” has become largely obsolete following the collapse of
    the Soviet Union. “Third World” remains the most common of
    the original designations, but its meaning has changed from
    “non-align” and become more of a blanket term for developing
    world. Terms such as “developing countries” and “lower-
