Global South Focus is a dynamic, blog-based platform committed to publishing timely current affairs, deeply researched articles, and sharp insights on topics shaping the Global South – Nigeria inclusive.

In an increasingly interconnected and fast-changing world, the voices, perspectives, and realities of the Global South are often underrepresented or mischaracterized in mainstream global discourse. Global South Focus was founded to bridge this gap — offering a space where the stories, struggles, innovations, and triumphs of people from the Global South can be told with depth, accuracy, and context.

We are dedicated to spotlighting how globalization — with all its complexities, contradictions, and opportunities — is reshaping nations, institutions, and societies. From shifting diplomatic alliances and emerging economies to cultural transformations and social movements, our mission is to track and analyze how the Global South is navigating and influencing the 21st-century global landscape.

Our Mission and Purpose

At its core, Global South Focus exists to inform, provoke thought, and drive conversations. Our mission is to:

  • Highlight the perspectives and experiences of the Global South in global affairs, often overlooked by traditional Western media.

  • Analyze the processes and impacts of globalization, particularly as they affect politics, governance, development, international relations, trade, environment, and society in the Global South.

  • Foster cross-regional dialogue by connecting stories and patterns across Africa, Asia, Latin America, the Middle East, and their diasporas.

  • Encourage informed civic engagement, policy debate, and intellectual exchange among scholars, practitioners, activists, and everyday citizens.

Whether it’s analyzing new trade agreements, documenting grassroots movements, exploring the rise of BRICS, Belt and Road Initiative, FOCAC, Russia-Africa Cooperation, Shanghai Cooperation Organisation, ASEAN, and South-South cooperation in general, or unpacking postcolonial dynamics in international diplomacy — Global South Focus provides a platform for critical thought and grounded research and analysis.

Why “Global South”?

The term “Global South” is not merely geographic — it is a conceptual and political identity that speaks to shared histories of colonization, marginalization in global systems, and continued struggles for autonomy, equity, and representation. It also reflects the resilience, innovation, and growing influence of countries often deemed peripheral to the centers of global power.

At Global South Focus, we embrace this framing as a lens through which to interrogate power, inequality, resistance, and transformation. We believe that understanding the world from a Global South perspective is not only necessary — it is essential to building a more just, inclusive, and  global community with a shared future for mankind.

Join the Conversation

Global South Focus is more than a publication — it’s a growing community. We invite readers, thinkers, and contributors to share their ideas, experiences, and critiques. Through articles, essays, comments, and collaborations, we strive to cultivate a diverse and inclusive dialogue across borders.

As we expand, we look forward to building partnerships with independent journalists, research centers, academic institutions, grassroots organizations, and media outlets who share our vision.

Together, let’s embrace the Global South — not as a passive recipient of global trends, but as an active, shaping force in our collective future.
