North-South relations refer to the political, economic, and social interactions between countries in the Global North and the Global South. The Global North typically includes developed nations with advanced economies, such as those in North America and Western Europe, while the Global South comprises developing countries in regions like Africa, Latin America, and parts of Asia. These relations often focus on issues like trade, development aid, and environmental challenges. Historically, North-South relations have been shaped by colonialism, economic disparities, and differing political systems. The Global North often holds more power in international organizations, influencing policies that affect the Global South. Efforts to address inequalities include initiatives like the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and various international agreements aimed at fostering cooperation and development.
