What Divides Us? And the Impact on Democracy and Stability

Addressing vulnerability and promoting security
Sep 27, 2024 | Hague Centre for Strategic Studies

In this paper for the Hague Centre for Strategic Studies, Jakkie Cilliers examines the widening gap between the Global North and Global South amid shifting economic and political dynamics. He explores how these global divisions - fueled by economic disparities, geopolitical tensions, and climate change - affect democratisation, governance, and global stability. With rising authoritarianism and declining democracy worldwide, he raises questions about the future of multilateral cooperation and the role of different regions in shaping a more stable global order. He also delves into Africa’s unique challenges and opportunities within this evolving landscape. https://hcss.nl
