Global South Unit

Description

The Global South Unit (GSU) is a research and teaching initiative based in the International Relations Department of the London School of Economics (LSE). It is a decentralised ideas hub aimed at investigating the changing role of the South in shaping the global order.

The unit aspires to lead the debate through research, analysis and innovative ideas. The Unit's network of academics, practitioners, policy-makers and business leaders are active proponents of new ideas and thinking about the Global South.

The unit's remit is to ‘de-centre’ the study of International Relations and focus on:

• Differing dimensions of emerging power foreign policy;
• The changing dynamics of South-South cooperation;
• The impact of the Global South on key international issues such as global governance and climate change;
• The relationship between North and South across political, economic, and social development dimensions.
