"Multipolarity and the New South-South Relations"
The past three decades have witnessed the rise of the "new South-South relations" which includes increasing and overlapping economic-financial, political-diplomatic, security-military ties between developing countries. In the post WW era, South-South relations were considered a positive alternative to North-South unequal relations. This panel will explore the ambiguous impact of these ties from the perspective of human development and social justice in the global South.
The event is co-sponsored by Know War II (https://know-war.org/phase-2-project/), SIC (https://www.securityincontext.com), and the Syrian Center for Policy Research (https://www.scpr-syria.org/).
