English term or phrase: Global North
This relates to the concept of the world being made up of the Global North (Europe, North America, Japan, Taiwan, South Korea, Australia, Israel, etc.) and the Global South (everyone else). In other words, it's more about economics and development than about supposedly shared values (such as East vs. West). I have seen the Swedish term "den globala södern" but not really "den globala norden", probably due to "Norden" being used for the Nordic countries.

Och det är väl just, som du säger, att "Norden" redan är upptaget.

Tack så mycket! Det låter lite konstigt i mina öron, men samtidigt verkar det ju användas och vara vedertaget.

Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree  Daniel Löfström: Yes box. Oftast syftar det specifikt på "länderna på norra halvklotet". I SIDA-sammanhang talas det t.ex. ledigt om "länderna i nord" respektive "länderna i syd" osv.

disagree  Johan Sjöbom: Håller inte med. Frågeställaren nämner ju att det handlar om utveckling, inte geografi. Australien t.ex. nämns som en del av "Global North".
