    A WORLD
    OF REGIONS
    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-middle-income countries” are often used in
    its place.
