About Actors of the Global South: Trajectories, Continuities, and Futures*

The premise of this article is that the concept of the Global South cannot be solely analyzed based on economic factors. Instead, it encompasses a wide range of aspects, including political, economic, historical, identity based, and epistemic factors. This article aims to provide a comprehensive and multidimensional approach to identifying and acknowledging the actors of the Global South through three axes: its political, economic, and cooperative role. It takes into account the dynamic nature of the term and emphasizes its heuristic relevance as a valuable tool for understanding the current power dynamics.
