Global South Perspectives
About the initiative
In our interconnected world, hurdles like economic downturns, pandemics, and climate change affect all nations—though not equally. While there is growing recognition of how crucial the perspectives from the Global South are, discrepancies in priorities, as well as resource constraints, often hinder Southern countries’ ability to take the lead in shaping solutions to our common challenges. To help address this mismatch, Southern Voice is proud to launch the Global South Perspectives project.
This peer-reviewed collection of articles creates strategic links to vital global debates, ensuring Global South voices are heard where they matter. Each piece examines how global challenges uniquely impact Southern nations. Additionally, they recommend changes at the global decision-making level for improved national outcomes.
A series of think pieces capture each article’s central themes ahead of the project’s official release. Join us on May 29 2025, as we launch this new publication by clicking the banner below.
