Background
- Nationalism dominates global trade and politics post-WTO, shifting focus to non-tariff barriers. However, this narrative overlooks the realities of the Global South, diminishing its moral and spiritual aspects.
- Businesses face uniform expectations for ESG, CSR and Corporate Digital Responsibility (CDR) compliance across trade, alongside perceived moral grandstanding in Human Rights and Democracy indices by the Global North.
- The Global South’s issues, context and necessary solutions are often disregarded, mainly due to a lack of institutional capacity in understanding the complexities of compliance and associated indices.
- New and Emerging Strategic Technologies (NEST) will lead to new and emerging strategic challenges in the global context.
- There is a pronounced need to research and propose frameworks either within such Global North standards or as a counter standard that takes cognisance of what the South needs.
