The Brandt Line (an imaginary line) is a concept that categorizes the world into richer countries mainly in the Northern Hemisphere and poorer countries mostly in the Southern Hemisphere, highlighting global economic disparities.
“Global North” (wealthier communities) and a “Global South“ (poorer communities) exist both within and among nations.
The line is based on the “North-South: A Programme for Survival”, a report addressing the problems of international inequality
