Answer:
Explanation:
The Global South is an emerging term, used by the World Bank and other organizations, identifying countries with one side of the underlying global North–South divide, the other side being the countries of the Global North.[1] As such the term does not inherently refer to a geographical south, for example most of the Global South is within the Northern Hemisphere.[1]
The term was first introduced as a more open and value free alternative to "third world"[2] and similar potentially "valuing" terms like developing countries.
Countries of the Global South have been described as newly industrialized or in the process of industrializing, are largely considered by freedom indices to have lower-quality democracies, and frequently have a history of colonialism by Northern, often European states. The countries Brazil, India, Mexico, Indonesia, and China have the largest populations and economies among Southern states.[3] The overwhelming majority of these countries are located in or near the tropics.
