The Special Issue The ‘Global South’ in the study of world politics is published by Third World Quarterly in September 2021. Edited by Sebastian Haug, Jacqueline Braveboy-Wagner and Günther Maihold, it focuses on the increasing popularity of the ‘Global South’ as a meta category and asks whether and how it can be put to analytical use for research on world politics.

In this online launch event, editors and authors present their contributions and invite participants to discuss the main arguments put forward across the pages of the Special Issue.

Special Issue papers (see below) include contributions by Adriana Abdenur, Tobias Berger, Manuela Boatcă, Andrew Cooper, Nadine Godehardt, Sebastian Haug, Florian Koch, Paul Kohlenberg, Supriya Roychoudhury, Siddarth Tripathi and Laura Trajber Waisbich.
