From Immanuel Ness (ed) Palgrave Encyclopedia of Imperialism and Anti-Imperialism. Basingstoke: Macmillan Palgrave, 2016. This Chapter reviews the growing cooperation among Southern states in trade, economic assistance, and forms of economic sustenance for the mutual benefit of undeveloped countries and developing in Asia, Africa, and Latin America. Even as economic trade among states in the global South with the West is growing in an unequal manner, the chapter demonstrates that new more equitable economic relationships are developing among emerging countries of the South, for example, China and Africa. These new forms of trade are providing expanding opportunities which may reduce dependence on the imperialist core.
