Differentiate The Global South From The Third World

The document discusses how countries have been classified based on their level of development, from the Cold War era classifications of First World, Second World, and Third World, to more modern terms like developing countries, less developed countries, and the Global South. While classifications have evolved over time, there remains no consensus on how best to categorize countries according to their development status. The Global South refers to countries in Africa, Asia, Latin America, and poorer regions within wealthy countries, taking into account their shared histories of colonialism, neo-imperialism, and resulting inequalities.

The world is divided into those countries that are industrialized, have political and economic stability,

and have high levels of human health, and those countries that do not. The way we identify these countries
has changed and evolved over the years as we have moved through the Cold War-era and into the modern
age; however, it remains that there is no consensus as to how we should classify countries by their
development status.

Third World described those countries that did not align with either the First World or Second World
countries after World War II and are generally described as less-developed countries. The Third World
included the developing nations of Africa, Asia, and Latin America.

The Global South is a term that has been emerging in transnational and post colonial studies to refer to
what used to be called the "Third World" (i.e., countries in Africa, Asia, Latin America), "developing
countries," "less developed countries," and "less developed regions." It can also include poorer "southern"
regions of wealthy "northern" countries. The Global South is more than the extension of a "metaphor for
underdeveloped countries." In general, it refers to these countries' "interconnected histories of colonialism,
neo-imperialism, and differential economic and social change through which large inequalities in living
standards, life expectancy, and access to resources are maintained."
