The Global Southeast is the southeastern region of the world. There are varying definitions, with South and Southeast Asia always included, and broader definitions including North Africa and the Middle East.[1][2] It is becoming an increasingly economically relevant region on the world stage,[3] though it is also projected to have problems with climate change accelerating refugee crises and conflicts in the region.[4]
Many Southeastern countries are undergoing rapid urbanization, and generally have significant amounts of ethnic diversity.[5]
