Global South: political phantom or new reality

Abstract

Today, and in the near future, the problem of world order re-transformation from unipolar to multipolar will be one of the most relevant topics in scientific and analytical publications. In the scientific and expert communities, there is a genuine interest in the processes and projects associated with geopolitical changes in the balance of power and control over world resources. Today, the concept of the "global south" has firmly entered scientific terminology. It reflects the significant changes taking place in world politics, whose influence and impact on political reality today cannot be ignored in the implementation of foreign policy on the world stage. A new geopolitical process is a unique phenomenon in terms of its metaphysics. Both the participants themselves and the observers still do not have a clearly formulated idea of what should happen and what will happen in the end. Objectively, the increasing degree of influence of this geopolitical process on world affairs, coupled with its lack of research and novelty, forms the need to begin a comprehensive study. Without a doubt, its understanding and comprehension will contribute to increased control and, consequently, a higher degree of transparency for all participants in the world political process.

Here are three academically styled sentences in English that can be added to the text: From a theoretical perspective, the emergence of multipolarity challenges classical paradigms of international relations, particularly realist and liberal approaches that were formed under conditions of bipolarity and unipolar dominance. The growing role of the Global South not only restructures economic and political hierarchies but also introduces alternative models of development, governance, and regional integration. Therefore, systematic and interdisciplinary research of these transformations is essential for forecasting global stability and for developing adaptive foreign policy strategies in an increasingly complex international system.
