World economic altitude is making a change from north to south. There are certainly signs that the new economic strength of developing countries is being accompanied by transformations in existing arrangements of global governance dominated by industrialized countries.
Developing countries are now coming out in front foot and participating in the world forums. The developing countries themselves have formed several alliances or blocs which challenge the global dominance of the north. With these institutions, they defend and put their interest forward, particularly in the development of the international law field.
Forums like the G77, the G24, the G20 and the G33 provides a common platform to developing countries to coordinate negotiating positions in multilateral regimes based on common shared agendas. The leaders of developing countries are also becoming more local and presenting their visions at world level.

This discussion of the 'Global South' as a discursive construction is triggered by a reflection that stems from long-term research on narratives of conflict, within which disputes involving Palestine and Africa have been the central focus. The Global South is part of a dynamic and complex cultural and political spatiality weaved within significant intercultural relations and signifying practices.
The perspective, within the gesture inscribed in the narration – in the textures of narratives – categories such as 'North/South' are built; a gesture that either reiterates dominant powers, maximizing differences interwoven in the conflicts, or inscribes power relations in a more complex narrative mode. The geographies of power inscribed in these narratives highlight hegemonies, represented by the slave owners, dominant economic actors, good dealers and the block of 'Western'/'Northern' nations.
The global north is more economically developed than the global south which created countries that lack resources due to poorly managed agriculture, pollution, poor quality of life, low GDO, and many more concepts.
