Global East

In its broadest definition, the Global East incorporates much of Eurasia (except Western Europe), which is pictured above.

The Global East is a region of the world which has varying definitions. It can be narrowly construed as incorporating the Far Eastern parts of Asia, or more broadly, it can incorporate much of Eurasia,[1] including regions such as Eastern Europe, the former Soviet Union, and the Middle East.[2][3] Because of the ambiguity in defining the term, sometimes this region is also referred to as the Global Easts.[4][5] The term can also refer to the impact of eastern regions of the world on the broader world through diasporic and other relationships.[6]

The Global East is considered to have features of both the Global North and Global South, being sometimes referred to as a liminal space between the two.[7] A major theme in parts of the Global East is postsocialism.[8][2]
