LOCATING THE GLOBAL SOUTH
By Lisandro Claudio
The Starbucks and the Shanty
• There are markers of global interconnectedness, even global modernity
• There are Starbucks branches in Melbourne and Manila, New York and New Delhi
• All these branches look more or less the same
• The sameness represents the cultural homogenization that many critics have associated with
globalization
• In Manila and New Delhi, there is a good chance that upon leaving the coffee shop, you will meet a child
beggar in tattered clothes or walk a block or two, with your latte still hot, you will find a shanty town
• Spaces of affluence in the developing world may mirror the Global North • Spaces of underdevelopment in
developed countries may mirror the poverty of the Global South
• There is something more confusing about poverty in the global south, and the north/south divide is as
visible as the processes of globalization that engender it
• The divide reminds us that globalization creates undersides.

POST MODENISM
Globalism (Steger):
Global economic integration is not only inevitable given the rise of new technologies: it is, more importantly,
a normative international goal.
To not partake to globality backwards.
Civilization Discourse:
Dominant ideology of colonialism and the logic that shaped the birth of international order.
Modernization theory (Rostow):
Outlined the historical progression terms of a society's capacity to produce and consume material goods.
* Global South is a metaphor for inter-state inequality and product of Western Imagination (Claudio
2014). Historically, there had been divisions and labeling among different nations of the world
• The Treaty of Tordesillas in 1494 divides the world into two; The West and The East
• The treaty states that the new discovered lands on western part outside of Europe belongs to the Crown
of Castille and The East by the Portuguese
• Global South refers to the Socio-Economic and Political divides in the Southern Hemisphere of the 1569
Mercatorian Map.
• It consists of Africa, Latin America, and Asia including the Middle East.
• Global South also connotes developing countries as opposed to rich, industrialized, and wealth nations.
• Economically poor families, underprivileged individuals, unfair labor practices, and suppression of human
rights, and other basic rights in Europe, Australia, US, and Canada.
• Thus, you may also experience Global South even you’re living in the developed countries.
• The terms Global South and Third World are CONCEPTUALLY THE SAME.
• The term third world is the Antecedent or Predecessor of Global South (Claudio 2014)
• Arguably, the term Third World ceased to exist when the cold war ended.
• World was once categorized based on the economic ideology of Western Capitalism against the
Socialism of the Soviet Union.
• Capitalist Economies were considered as First world.
• Socialist Economies referred as Second world.
• Those that did not belong to either type of formal economies belongs to the Third world.
• Initially speaking, the term Third world referred to the former colonies of European Countries Later, the
term was used to refer to the poor world; these countries were considered to be non-industrialized and
newly industrialized, lacked of standard systems in banking, finance, and trade Hence, it’s outdated that
these countries belong to the third world since the term ceased after the Cold war These countries may be
classified as Global South though some of their citizens experience Global North in their soil.

GLOBALIZATION- is the expansion and intensification of social relations and consciousness across world
time and world-space.
REGIONALIZATION- is the growth of societal integration within a region and to the often-undirected

rich Singapore to poor Laos)
