THEME: EUROPE AND THE GLOBAL SOUTH
The ‘Global South’ is a contested term, which cannot accurately reflect the rich diversity of national realities across major world regions. Still, the term is used widely and typically refers to countries facing multiple development challenges. This issue of Forum endeavours to expand our understanding of how engagement between Europe and the Global South is playing out, as well as the challenges and opportunities that may result from current realities and future trends.
