"Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney was one of the first world leaders to
speak out about the “ruptured” world order caused by the Trump administration
in the United States. He called for middle powers to band together to safeguard
what’s left of the liberal world order.

But what role will the global south play in all of this?

Some believe it will be decisive. Earlier this year, Finland’s president,
Alexander Stubb, said at a conference in India, “the global south will decide
what the next world order will look like”.

The global balance of power has shifted. The global south has both
demography and economy on its side. The era of a Western-dominated world
order is over. This is obvious, but it will take some time to sink in across
the West.

So, how can the global south influence which direction the world takes?"
