China and the Global South: A Postcolonial Reading of the Northern-Led Global Order
Abstract
The concept of “Global South” has recently emerged as a symbol of unity, and geopolitical reality among postcolonial and developing nations. Following decolonization, these countries have sought to reclaim political and economic agency through movements such as the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) and G77, consistently advocating for a more just international order. From the perspective of postcolonial studies, this research seeks to answer the following central questions: (1) How has the Global South deconstructed the Western liberal order in international relations? (2) What are the tangible manifestations of “agency” within this emerging order of the Global South? The findings suggest that over the past few decades, the Global South, led by countries like China and other emerging economies, has critically challenged the epistemological and ontological foundations of the liberal world order, which is Western, imperialist, and hierarchical, and has promoted its agency through South-South cooperation to escape from its inferiority/marginalized position in the international system.
