Within the “Global North” may include Global Southern traits, yet within the “Global South” may include Global Northern traits. Perhaps the most obvious case study is Oceania as a continent, since Australia and New Zealand are typically identified as part of the “Global North” while the vast majority of the associated islands are considered the “Global South” regardless of size or other factors. The most commonly contested of the regions may include Indonesia, Malaysia, Brunei, the Middle East, and North Africa in addition to the aforementioned Oceania.
While most of the aforementioned regions are identified with the Global South, Singapore 🇸🇬 may be identified as an exclave of the Global North surrounded entirely by the Global South, with Malaysia 🇲🇾, Indonesia 🇮🇩, and Brunei 🇧🇳 located nearby.
