In the 1950s, French demographer Alfred Sauvy began referring to the Third World as the "Global South" to draw parallels to the power dynamics of the French estates before the revolution. 3.

    Global South vs Third World

    If there is no Third World, There is no


    global South.
    1960’s, 70’s and 80’s, scholar
    divided the earth into 3 parts or the
    3 worlds’ theory
    1. First World
    - encompassed all industrialized,
    democratic countries, which were assumed
    to be allied with the United States in its
    struggle against Soviet Union but not all
    were. Like Finland and Switzerland
    maintained strict neutrality.
    2. Second World
    - anchored on the industrialized, communist
    realm of the Soviet Union and its eastern
    European satellites yet it often included poor
    communist states located elsewhere
    - China is commonly mapped as Second
    World
    3. Third World
    - non aligned world and as the global realm
    of poverty, and underdeveloped, poor Soviet
    allies – Mongolia, Cuba, North Korea and North
    How the Third World became Global South
    - by Alfred Sauvy, a French Demographer,
    Anthropologist, Economic Historian who
    compared it the Third Estate, a concept that
    emerged in the context of the French
    Revolution
    First Estate – the clergy and the monarch
    Second Estate – nobility
    Third Estate - balance of the 18th century
    French population contrasting the 3 world’s
    theory
    How the Third World became
    Global South
    • Most people of the Third World are ruled by
    European colonies lived far from global sources
    of economic, political and military power,
    recently most were subjugated, most illiterate

    • Awareness was growing among leaders, many


    of whom had been educated in Europe or
    America that raised expectations and hopes and
    inspired third world leaders to try to improve
    colonial living conditions and win political
    independence.
    How the Third World became
    Global South
    Global South has routinely provided models of
    resistance for the world
    Ex. Guerilla struggles for the colonized world
    serves as inspirations for the Western Left groups
    within the American Civil rights movement
    - Gandhis non – violence initially directed at
    colonial authority in India is now part of global
    protest culture
    - Occupy movement – drew inspiration from the
    revolts of the Arab Spring against dictatorial
    regimes propped up by Western states
    How the Third World became
    Global South
    South’s concern on globalization in discussions of the
    global environment amidst the threats of climate
    change
    Hunger in Africa wile land dries up
    People are displaced after intense monsoon in
    SEA
    Flooding of Manila and Bangkok
    Opposition to domination by the First World also grew
    through increasing migration and travel that stimulated
    by the 2 world wars
    Many troops who participated in those wars were from
    the Third World
