A multipolar world is here. The question is whether U.S. foreign policy adapts or ignores that reality.

The United States’ declining soft power isn't a side effect of "America First" — it's the direct cost of it.

Representation shapes perception — and perception shapes policy.

A more accurate map means a more accurate conversation about power, population, and the role of the Global South in shaping global policy, ensuring Global South realities are taken into account.

The U.S. has left 66 international bodies, exited the Paris Agreement twice, & set aside the debt, development & climate priorities negotiated by the past four G20 presidencies.

There's a new multilateral system that #GlobalSouth countries are building on their own terms: gsphub.org/publications...

New rules, new players.

While the U.S. remains resolute about its "America First" agenda, #GlobalSouth countries are pursuing new avenues to advance their interests.

Africa doesn't benefit from its own mineral wealth.

The reason: A broken model built on extraction without shared benefits, favoring consuming nations over producers.

The fix: a minerals partnership that secures supply for consuming nations and advances Africa's development agenda.

Africa's minerals are sovereign assets, not commodities up for grabs.

That's the premise of the African Green Minerals Strategy (AGMS).

According to expert Alaka Lugonzo, the U.S. should align its critical minerals policy with the AGMS and move beyond a purely extractive approach.

Can the U.S. secure critical minerals without earning the trust of the nations that supply them?

Expert Alaka Lugonzo argues that the answer is no — and that durable access depends on aligning with Africa's development agenda, not just extracting from the continent: gsphub.org/publications...

Early this year, Zambian officials rejected a reported U.S. proposal tying health financing to preferential access to its copper reserves.

Alaka Lugonzo argues that U.S. mineral access depends on moving past extraction toward mutually beneficial partnerships.

Why do #GlobalSouth countries keep choosing quick investments over safeguards in the critical mineral race?

Because the alternative — slow Global North capital with too many conditions — leaves them little choice.

The rules of the international order were meant to be universal. In reality, they are applied unequally to Global North and Global South countries.

In response, Global South countries are pushing to reform traditional multilateral institutions while building alternatives: gsphub.org/publications...

The U.S. doesn't just have a seat at the G20 table this year — it's holding the gavel and setting the agenda.

This is Washington's chance to regain the trust and influence it's losing in the Global South.

Countries across the Global South aren't abandoning multilateralism. They're losing patience with the limitations of its foundational institutions.

Multilateralism's legitimacy crisis isn't new — but the Global North can no longer ignore it.

While #GlobalSouth countries try to reform institutions that exclude them, they are also seeking alternative avenues.

Debt crises in the #GlobalSouth aren't isolated incidents — they're the predictable outcome of an architecture that manages symptoms rather than fixing root causes.

The world needs $2.4 trillion a year to address the climate crisis.

It's getting $136.7 billion — mostly in loans.

The countries least responsible for climate change are being asked to borrow their way out of it, sinking deeper into debt in the process.
