Voice of global south: Need and Initiatives

Abstract

This research paper presents an analytical study of the conflict that arose after the Second World War between the North, comprising developed states, and the South, comprising developing states, on the issues of global hegemony, resource exploitation during the colonial period, and unequal representation. During the colonial period, developed states exploited the resources of their colonies. After independence, due to a lack of capital and the dominance of developed states over global institutions, a North-South dialogue was organized to demand the creation of a new world order. After this did not bring positive results, these states took the form of Global South states. The most vivid support to the demand of this group of states has been given by the two South Dialogues held in this period of increasing the global credibility of a southern state, India. The first South Dialogue “Voice of Unity” organized by India on January 12-13, 2023 and the second dialogue “Growth and Trust for All Together” organized on November 17, 2023, were attended by 125 countries and made global change and development a common goal. Naturally, these two dialogues will have an impact on the economic development of these states as well as the southern states i.e. developed states in global geopolitics. 3rd Global South Summit's theme,
