THE GLOBAL SOUTH AWAKENING

Abstract

The scream of the Global South over the years have been rooted in exploitation by Western Colonial powers in the past, the bipolar Cold War system and the desire of the Global North to perpetuate its hegemonic dominance in the global geopolitical in recent decades. Unfortunately, poverty, slavery, depletion, lack of human rights and abuse of natural resources, unemployment, and inequality were its dominant factors. This paper analyses the challenges faced by global south, the most predominant of which emerges due to universally cooperation among its members. It also makes some suggestions to overcome these challenges. Progress will not occur in these countries unless outside and inside forces make positive changes for the well- being of its people and environment. Though, some strategies have been put in place but more efforts are needed to enhance its viability.
