Global South Review is a social and political journal that aimed to provide academic and policy platform to exchange views, research findings, and dialogues within the Global South and between the Global North and the Global South. Global South Review examines all the issues encountered by Global South in the context of current international justice, security, and order. The journal focuses, but not exclusively, on the role of Global South in global politics; the rise, demise, and possible revival of South-South internationalism and Bandung Spirit; and the dynamics of relations between Global South and Global North.

Abstract

BRICS Feminist Watch (BFW), a transnational feminist alliance, channels and institutionalizes alternative gender norms rooted in Global South experiences into the BRICS framework, aiming for a more inclusive and gender-just global order. While BRICS, as a strategic bloc in a post-hegemonic world, pays limited formal attention to gender equality, BFW addresses this gap by advancing justice models distinct from the mainstream Global North approaches. Functioning as a civil society organization (CSO), BFW exemplifies the growing influence of non-state actors in global policy advocacy such as mobilizing collective action, shaping discourses, and pressing for economic development agendas that are responsive to gender realities of BRICS societies. Through both formal and informal channels, BFW challenges the dominance of state actors and mainstream paradigms, advocating for greater representation, accountability, and the integration of gender perspectives in BRICS policy-making and development projects. Operating amid diverse ideological contexts and lacking specific institutional mechanisms for gender issues within BRICS, BFW leverages solidarity, expertise, and advocacy networks to contest and revise established norms. The distinctive position of BFW demonstrates how transnational feminist CSOs from the Global South can generate institutional transformation within emerging global governance platforms, offering critical alternatives to prevailing gender and development discourses.

Abstract

The New Development Bank (NDB’s) role in development projects in South Africa is critically examined in this article regarding dependency dynamics duirng the BRICS cooperative era. The NDB is often seen as an alternative to global financial institutions dominated by Western powers. However, its operations raise questions about whether the bank is truly capable of challenging Western dominance and realizing equitable development, or if it simply duplicates existing dependencies and creates the new ones. By examining NDB financing in transportation, renewable energy, and water management projects, this study highlights how NDB-funded development interacts with ongoing power imbalances and economic vulnerabilities. The article uses a qualitative-descriptive research method by theory-driven content analysis from literature review and project report and academic publication with a case study approach to analyze South Africa’s dependency dynamics under NDB’s financing. Result of this article show that although the NDB provides a broader and more flexible financing system for South Africa, in practice, the lending conditions, project establishment requirements, and governance structure applied still have the potential to place South Africa in a position that is vulnerable to the risk of new dependencies, in this case with Tiongkok. This study contributes to the broader discourse on global south development, global political economy, and the application of dependency theory in a multipolar world.

Abstract

This study critically examines the potential for South-South Cooperation (SSC) between Indonesia and Timor-Leste in the development of renewable energy in the border region. Although SSC is normatively described as a form of horizontal, solidarity-based cooperation among developing countries, this article argues that disparities in institutional capacity and developmental positions can hinder the realization of truly mutually beneficial partnerships within the Global South. Drawing on the key modes and principles of SSC—including horizontality, demand-driven cooperation, mutual benefits, cultural affinity, and knowledge transfer—this study analyzes how renewable energy cooperation is envisioned and structured from Indonesia’s perspective. Using a qualitative approach, this research relies on in-depth interviews with government agencies, think tanks, and local non-governmental organizations (NGOs), supplemented by policy documents and secondary literature. Findings indicate that border regions hold significant potential for renewable energy cooperation, particularly in the development of wind and hydro power. However, a centralized governance structure, uneven institutional capacity, and limited political commitment hinder the emergence of fully horizontal cooperation. This article argues that while SSC offers an alternative framework to North-South development relations, the potential cooperation between Indonesia and Timor-Leste also reveals the possibility of asymmetrical relations within the Global South itself. This study contributes to critical debates on SSC, postcolonial development, and energy transition in border regions.

Abstract

Indonesia's assumption of the G20 Presidency in 2022, under the thematic banner of 'Recover Together, Recover Stronger,' represented far more than a ceremonial rotation of diplomatic leadership. This article argues that Indonesia's stewardship of the forum constituted a sophisticated expression of middle power diplomacy anchored in ontological security imperatives and deliberate strategic narrative construction. Drawing on qualitative process tracing and interpretive discourse analysis, this study examines how Indonesia leveraged its G20 chairmanship to advance Global South interests while simultaneously reinforcing its self-identity as a non-aligned, development-oriented actor in an increasingly polarized international order. The article demonstrates that Indonesia's diplomatic performance was the product of a coherent strategic narrative calibrated to project credibility, manage competing great power pressures, and secure recognition as a legitimate broker between the industrialized North and the developing South. Theoretically, the study triangulates middle power diplomacy theory, ontological security scholarship, and the strategic narratives framework to offer a more comprehensive analytical lens for understanding Indonesia's foreign policy behavior. The empirical analysis shows that Indonesia's chairmanship successfully established the Pandemic Fund, secured progress on debt restructuring language, and initiated the Just Energy Transition Partnership, thereby validating the efficacy of middle power diplomacy when undergirded by a coherent ontological identity narrative. This study contributes to ongoing debates about the agency of emerging middle powers in shaping global governance architecture and addresses a gap in the literature on the intersection of identity, narrative, and diplomatic strategy among Global South actors.
