The global South consists primarily of agrarian economies in Africa, India, China, Latin America,
and elsewhere that are not as economically sound or politically stable as their counterparts in
the global North and are characterized by turmoil, war, conflict, poverty, anarchy, and tyranny.
It is a dynamic term that does not take into account geographical locations, which means that
members of this grouping who reach a certain level of development may cross over to the
Global North. It has traditionally been used within intergovernmental development
organizations primarily those that arose from the Non-Aligned Movement to refer to
economically disadvantaged nation-states and as a post-cold war alternative to "Third World."
2. In a broader sense, the Global North (First World) encompasses richer and more
developed countries such as the United States, France, the United Kingdom, Canada, New
Zealand, and Australia, among others. The term refers to developed societies in Europe and
North America that have established democracy, wealth, technological advancement, political
stability, an aging population, no population growth, and dominance in world trade and politics.
3. A Third World country is an outdated and derogatory term for a developing country with a
population with low and middle incomes and other socioeconomic indicators. It is one of four
segments used to describe the world's economies based on their economic status. The Third
World trailed the First and Second Worlds but was ahead of the Fourth World, despite the fact
that Fourth-World countries were barely recognized at all. A developing country, an
underdeveloped country, or a low- and middle-income country are the terms used today.
