Understanding Global South Dynamics

The document discusses the terms "Third World" and "Global South" used to describe less economically developed regions outside of Europe and North America. While the Third World and Global South share some characteristics and are sometimes used interchangeably, the Global South also includes regions that are part of the developing world due to their economic structures and socio-cultural factors. Today, more preferred terms are developing nation, underdeveloped country, or low- and middle-income country to replace outdated classifications like First, Second, and Third World.
