The Rising South and its Fault Lines: Mapping the Intersections of Class, Race, and Gender in an Unequal World. Over the past 15 years, the global political economy of development has been transformed in important ways by the rise of high-growth economies in the global South – especially the southern BRICS countries (Brazil, India, China, and South Africa). However, “the rise of the South” is a complex process, shot through with fault lines of persistent poverty and deepening inequalities. In this task 2, we will investigate how these fault lines originate in structures of power based on class, race, and gender that shape the global production networks in which Southern high-growth economies are embedded. In doing so, we will question and problematize prevailing growth stories, and deepen our understanding of uneven and unequal development in the 21st century. The persistence of poverty and deepening of inequality in the South are related to the workings of multiple structures of power. Critically discuss the statement.
