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]
