The geopolitical map is being rearranged at a staggering pace. We analyze the rise of the "Global South," a new collective force stretching from Asia to Latin America that is claiming a leading role in the 21st century. From challenging the supremacy of the dollar to the strategic leveraging of raw materials, we explore how nations once on the periphery are now becoming the regulators of global equilibrium.
🚀 From the Periphery to the Epicenter
Economic Sovereignty: The South is now the primary engine of global growth, fueled by a dynamic middle class and a demographic explosion.
The Power of Raw Materials: How control over the minerals required for the "green transition" grants the South strategic leverage over the North.
Strategic Autonomy: The policy of "smart neutrality" and the refusal to align with sanctions on the Ukrainian front serve as a clear message of independence.
💶 The Geoeconomic Revolution: Dedollarization
The Dollar as a Weapon: Why the use of the US currency for political sanctions pushed the South to seek alternative solutions.
The Rise of the Yuan & National Currencies: Experiments by India, Brazil, and China in bilateral trade and the creation of systems like CIPS that bypass SWIFT.
The Return to Gold: The massive shift of central banks toward gold as the ultimate move to hedge against geopolitical risks.
🏛️ New Institutions & Climate Justice
The BRICS Bank (NDB): The creation of autonomous financial structures offering an escape from the guardianship of the IMF.
UN Reform: The urgent need for a democratization of international organizations to reflect today’s reality rather than that of 1945.
Historical Weight: The demand for reparations from the North on the climate change front.
⚖️ Conclusion: A Polycentric World
The trajectory is irreversible. The 21st century belongs to a polycentric world, where voices ignored for centuries are co-shaping our common future. This is not about the collapse of the system, but the creation of a fairer global distribution of power.
