Global East

The Global East is a region of the world which has varying definitions. It can be narrowly construed as incorporating the Far Eastern^[a] parts of Asia, or more broadly, it can incorporate much of Eurasia,^[5] including regions such as Eastern Europe, the former Soviet Union, and the Middle East.^[6][7] Because of the ambiguity in defining the term, sometimes this region is also referred to as the Global Easts.^[8][9] The term can also refer to the impact of eastern regions of the world on the broader world through diasporic and other relationships.^[10]

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.^[11] A major theme in parts of the Global East is postsocialism.^[12][6]
