In an era where multilateralism is fragmenting, defining the Global South has never been more complicated. As new challenges like climate change, the concentration of technology and AI and increasing inequality emerge, older threats like militarism and even nuclear tensions are making a comeback. Every country today is moving towards strategic autonomy - charting their own paths through geopolitical uncertainty and being forced to view everything through the lens of individualism. And yet, as this happens, the global challenges we were supposed to be addressing loom closer.
Talking specifically about the Global South, how can such a diverse group of nations, from rising global powers like China, India and Brazil to debt-ridden economies or small island states, find common ground? And what does global cooperation look like when the foundations of the world order, are shifting?
Join us today with special guest Aude Darnal, an International Policy Researcher and Program Manager of the Global South in the World Order Project at the Stimson Center to explore multilateralism today on the Global Get Down podcast.
