bet365 Play online games "China Social Sciences": You mentioned,The term "Global South" not only involves geographical space,It also symbolizes a series of protests against neo -liberalism。Can you discuss this concept and importance in detail?

Plastel: In the early days of the colonial rule,Those countries that have just been liberated have formulated a common agenda,The agenda was reflected in the "Vanlong Declaration" in 1955 and the subsequent alignment in 1961。This is the famous Third World Project。But,In the 1980s,The co -suppression of the old colonial country (that is, today's Western Group) and the third World debt crisis,The political confidence and sharpness of the Third World Project gradually weakened。After the disintegration of the Soviet Union in 1991,The governments of some pre -colonial countries have begun to succeed in the West。During this period,The new agenda is that new liberalism leads to a deep tightening of society,Treating a series of spontaneous protests。In the next ten years,"New Situation",Not only does it include protests against neo -liberalism,It also shows a resistance attitude towards the new liberal system and the management of global affairs in the United States。The US war on Iraq in 2003 and the international financial crisis that began in 2007 strengthened the change of world order,Highlighting the rational global affairs manager of the United States nor a trusted global economy anchoring point。Now,The term "Global South" not only represents the people of "Global Southern",And represented its government in many cases,and previous,Some governments have represented the "Washington Consensus" on behalf of "Global Northern"。What these governments are now regardless of their bet365 best casino games political orientation,A series of limitations of the New Liberal Aired and Imperialist Models in a larger or less extent。

"Journal of Social Sciences of China": Expressing over time,What evolution has the understanding of "Southern Global"? What kind of character does this concept play in new liberal alternatives,What kind of challenge is facing?

Plastel: Iraq war and the international financial crisis have triggered a series of complex transformations in the third world countries。These countries make full use of the opportunities brought by globalization: the industry is transferred from "Global Northern" to "Global Southern" to use its relatively low labor costs; scientific and technical knowledge has been booming,New scientific and technological knowledge accompanied by industrial transfer spread to "Global Southern"; capital from "Global Northern" entrusts these industries to subcontractors,These subcontractors have now become the creators in the global value chain; due to the booming development of global industry,Rising commodity prices,Metal of "Southern Global"、Mineral and energy exports have brought generous benefits。The rise of the BRICS countries is also a product of these favorable factors,They and some other countries (such as Nigeria、Indonesia、Mexico, etc.) beneficiated among them。The rise of the driving force of the BRICS countries and other "Global South" provides opportunities to choose from external financing (whether it is from the private sector or the state department),Therefore, the influence of international institutions based on the "Washington Consensus" is balanced。The biological agency of the BRICS mechanism, such as the BRICS New Development Bank, has bet365 best casino games gradually begun to develop independent planning and policy frameworks。For example,China helps the African mainland to promote the industrialization process。It is worth emphasizing is,"Global Southern" is the Seven Kingdoms Group of the New Liberalism and the "Global Northern" country.、"NATO+" Group and other international patterns inject new vitality。

  Create a more fair and fair world together

bet365 Play online games "China Social Sciences": from individual to global level,How do people contribute to the vision of creating a more fair and fair world?

Plastel: The "New Situation" of "Global Southern" has become part of historical development,This is an objective fact of today's era。Although some countries in the "Southern Global" are highly sensitive to these changes,But all countries generally recognize these changes that are happening。For many social movements and political groups of "Southern Global",They gradually realized,There will be a larger space to propose the claim that transcend the new liberal agenda。In the new discussion on industrialization,The topic worthy of in -depth discussion may include social compensation and workers' rights in the production process。A moment of changes in the world,It is necessary to actively put forward the claims on a better life,Cannot lose with this historical opportunity。

bet365 Play online games "China Social Sciences": in your research plan,How to record and explain the history of the Third World or "Global Southern"?

Plastel: 2001,I started to write about Africa、Long historical works in the former colonial world of Asia and Latin America。The first part of the research traces the formation of the third world project and its frustration in the 1980s,This part of the result was in the form of the book "The History of the Third World" in 2007。Then,bet365 best casino games I devoted to the second part of the study,Looking back on multiple meetings held by the Southern Committee since the 1980s。At that time,Their main orientation is to work hard to promote industrialization and promote the independent development of southern countries.。This research explores the development process from the Southern Committee to the BRICS mechanism,The results are "Poor Country: History of Poor Country: The History of the Third World State" published in 2013。I am currently committed to completing the third part of the study,It will begin in the US war against Iraq (2003) and the international financial crisis (2007),Then the "new situation" focused on the south。Related works "Light Kingdom" is expected to be published in 2025。

bet365 Play online games "China Social Sciences": Former United Nations Secretary-General of the United Nations Boutros Boutros-Ghali mentioned,Your monograph helps understand the complex incident of the current global situation。What do you think of the current "new situation" of global challenges?

Plastel: Mr. Bteros Gali, who led the United Nations during the difficult period, fully affirmed this book in the preface of "Poor Country"。He said,This book shows the direct historical trajectory of emerging conflicts,This conflict was suppressed in the new liberal era。I really hope that Mr. Bteros Galley can see this moment、This "new situation",and see,The Nasieism that he advocated in the 1950s did not die,Instead of continuing to move forward in different forms。

  Promoting our great eraSocial process

bet365 Play online games "China Social Sciences": Through "Trilogy",What do you want to tell readers the most?

Plastel: I hope that readers are after reading the full "trilogy",I have been able to understand these works that have tracked the Third World and the "Global Southern" country for freedom and bet365 Play online games equality in the past century。I am proud of the overall direction of these works,Because they reflect the work of the research institution led by my institution, the work of the Social Research Institute of the Three Continent。I hope readers can pay attention to our research results and participate in thinking and discussing,Especially our new research report "Super Imperialism: a New Stage of Danger and indulgence"。This research puts forward an important argument for the dynamics of our current era。Facing the rise of "Southern Global",Northern Group led by the United States responded。"Super Imperialism" refers to relying on force,Persist in obedience。My "Trilogy" and the research report of the Three Continent Institute "Super Imperialism" helps explain why the United States and other countries choose to use the Ukrainian situation and Taiwan issues to provoke conflicts,instead of taking the rise of "Global Southern" as an opportunity for cooperation。

bet365 Play online games "China Social Sciences": readers of countries around the world,Especially how do policy makers look at your "trilogy" and "new situation"?

Plastel: Not long ago,I talked two hours with a politician in Indonesia。We discussed the "new situation"。I found that this dialogue is very inspiring。This politician is not left,But he comes from "Global South",I know about these changes in "Global South" and this "new situation"。In our conversation,I shared the basic outline I advocated in the "Trilogy",Based on this,We discussed democracy、The necessity of justice and inequality。I believe in developing democracy and ending inequality (eliminate hunger、illiterate、homelessness and other phenomena) This journey is the great social process of our time。I hope this can resonate and attract more people's attention。
