The term "Global South" generally refers to countries located in Africa, Asia, Latin America, and the Caribbean. It is used to describe regions that were historically colonized or exploited by European powers and continue to experience economic, political, and social disparities compared to the Global North (which typically refers to Europe, North America, and other industrialized nations). The use of this term can be controversial as it implies a power dynamic between the "South" and the "North," and some argue that it perpetuates a colonialist worldview.
