	North-South divide - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The North-South divide is the socio-economic and political division that exists between the wealthy developed countries, known collectively as "the North", and the poorer developing countries, or "the South".
		Although most nations comprising the "North" are in fact located in the Northern Hemisphere, the divide is not primarily defined by geography.
		The global digital divide is often characterized as corresponding to the North-South divide, however it is interesting to note that Internet use, and especially broadband access, is now soaring in Asia compared with other continents.

	Global Apartheid Continues to Haunt Global Democracy- Social and Economic Policy - Global Policy Forum
		Global apartheid, like globalization, is a buzzword that has evolved to describe a new global paradigm.
		Current manifestations of global apartheid are exhibited in the dominance of bilateralism and the hegemonic behaviour of the United States, the unbalanced and undemocratic processes in the World Trade Organization (WTO), and the disproportionate power of multinational corporations and the Washington-based International Financial Institutions (IFIs).
		This is reflected in the current global apartheid paradigm with unrealistic IFI conditionalities, stifling African development goals, especially when now-developed countries in the North used the very strategies now prohibited for their own development process.

	Global Pulse: South Pacific Archives
		The former British colony in the South Pacific is beautiful, but its ugly, coup-loving political landscape retards development and hinders unity.
		South Pacific nations and researchers in the West are presenting a united front to reintroduce the Pacific Elixir to the world.
		The U.N. Environment Program said the move was the first of many relocations planned in the South Pacific where low-lying coastal areas are being devoured by soil erosion, higher sea levels and increasingly menacing storms.

	Global South Confirms Support of North American Anglicans (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		As Primates and Leaders of the Global South Provinces of the Anglican Communion we gathered at the Hotel des Mille Collines in Kigali, Rwanda, between 19th and 22nd September 2006.
		We are aware that a growing number of congregations are receiving oversight from dioceses in the Global South and in recent days we have received requests to provide Alternative Primatial Oversight for a number of dioceses.
		We were pleased by their determination to network with other theological institutions and theologians in the Global South as well as with scholars and seminaries who share a similar vision for theological education that is faithful to Scripture and tradition.

	Globalization of Culture - Global Policy Forum (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Identifying “three rounds of globalization,” this the Globalist article argues that “globalization is not a new thing.” The exchange of ideas between ancient civilizations — the first round — fueled the rise of the West with industrial revolution and imperialism — the second round.
		By these dynamics, the world is returning towards global equity, where India and China have a share of world income roughly similar to their share of people — as in the early 19th century.
		Japan and South Korea benefit from the globalization of culture, but China has yet to capitalize on the film, music, and art industries that serve the dual purpose of revenue and cultural promotion.

		Although 20 Anglican Provinces were represented at the September 19-22 meeting, not all the attendees endorsed the resulting communiqué and Ndungane was unaware of its contents or planned dissemination, he said in a September 24 statement that clarified some details about the four-day meeting.
		Whereas Canon Livingstone Ngewu and I were present in Kigali, neither of us were made aware even of the possibility of a communiqué in the name of the Primates of the Global South, prior to its release.
		Thus, for example, recent meetings of the Primates, in which the Global South played a very full part, requested various actions from the Archbishop of Canterbury, which he has been assiduous in pursuing; such as setting up the Lambeth Commission, the Panel of Reference, and now the Covenant Design Group.

	South Asia - Global Economic Prospects: Growth Prospects for South Asia
		December 13, 2006 -- In 2006, GDP in South Asia is estimated to have expanded at a very rapid pace of 8.2%.
		GDP in South Asia is projected to slow gradually to a still robust 7.5% in 2007 and 7% in 2008.
		Factors contributing to the expected slowdown are weaker external demand, reflecting slower growth in the United States in 2007, tighter domestic monetary and fiscal policies, and tighter international monetary conditions.

	The Dilemma of Armed Struggle in the Global South
		From the 1950s to the end of the 1980s, armed struggle in nations of the global South was widely accepted as a legitimate strategy for seeking political and social change.
		There was also a tolerance by many governments in the global North of their own citizens who organized in solidarity with armed liberation groups such as the Palestinian Liberation Army, Nicaragua’s Sandinistas and El Salvador’s Farabundo Martí National Liberation Front (FMLN).
		The rise of the new globalized free market economic system coincided with U.S. policies of “democracy promotion.” As a result, armed struggle, the argument went, would become largely de-legitimized because citizens would have the ballot box as a means to effect change.

	Third World - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In general, Third World countries are not as industrialized or technologically advanced as OECD countries, and therefore in academia, the current term in use is "developing nation".
		Terms such as Global South, developing countries, less economically developed countries (LEDC), least developed countries and the Majority World have become more popular in circles where the term "third world" is regarded to have derogatory or out-of-date connotations.
		Some theorists, such as Andre Gunder Frank and Walter Rodney have used the term underdevelopment or underdeveloped world, to indicate the active process by which the global South has been locked out of development by imperialism and the post-colonial policies of the richer nations.

	Testimony from the Global South
		"Structural adjustment is a mechanism to shift the burden of economic mismanagement and financial mismanagement from the North to the South, and from the Southern elites to the Southern communities and people.
		Structural adjustment is also a policy to continue trade and economic patterns developed during the colonial period, but which the Northern powers want to continue in the post-colonial period.
		Economically speaking, we [countries in the South] are more dependent on the ex-colonial countries than we ever were.

	The World Bank and the Attack on Pensions in the Global South (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		By the early 1980's, experts in the rich countries began to warn that countries in the South could not afford social insurance at all, or at least that major "reforms" would soon be necessary.
		In an increasingly global economy, where the fates of all are closely intertwined, and where individual nation-states are often too weak to protect their own citizens, a global solution to income security is needed, including support for people in frail old age.
		Globalization of employment and income security, for people of all ages, is the only way to insure a decent livelihood and opportunities for productive work to everyone, the elderly included.

		If that is what the writers of the Global South Communiqué meant (as I agree they may well have done), they should not exaggerate by saying that such blessings “undermine the basic message of redemption and the power of the Cross to transform lives” and that the “leaders of these provinces.
