The Netherlands, Europe and the Global South in a changing world order

Abstract

The rapid geopolitical shifts currently taking place require a repositioning of Europe and the Netherlands in the world. In this advisory report, the Advisory Council on International Affairs (AIV) calls for the expansion and strategic deepening of relations with countries in the Global South. This is essential not only to help shape a multipolar world and avoid adverse geopolitical scenarios, but also to respond to the economic rise of the Global South and to pursue common interests through effective multilateral cooperation.
