Introduction
Human conditions have over the years, phenomenally improved in all parts of the globe including in less developed countries. As noted by authors such as Easterlin (2000), Green (2012), Rodrik (2013). the UNO (2017) and OECD (2018), this remarkable revolution in human conditions – manifested by the fact that most people are better clothed, educated, fed and housed compared to their predecessors two centuries back – has so far not only touched the west. In effect, it has remarkably spread to less developed countries in Africa, South America and Asia as seen in the fact that the three above cited continents are today home to some emerging economies notably China, India and Brazil among others. In tandem with this, Rodrik (2013) insightfully notes that the tremendous growth witnessed by less developed nations during these last decades has made it commonplace for observers to refer to them (the developing countries) as the “savior of the world economy” (p.2). Rodrik further contends that, from 2005 to 2012, less developed countries actually saw their economies expanding at an unprecedented rate, leading to large reduction of extreme poverty and expansion of the middle class. During this period, the differential between the growth rate of developing and developed countries expanded to more than 5 percentage points due partly to a decline in the economic performance of most developed countries. In the same line of thought, Green (2012) reviews the economic successes of less developed African countries such as Botswana and Mauritius. He notes that Botswana has been Africa’s most enduring success story. Its per capita income has phenomenally risen a thousand fold since independence, making it “the world’s fastest-growing economy in three decades” (p. 159). 

Objectives
This book is aimed at providing different perspectives on global media’s representation of (development and economic growth in) developing and poor countries. These perspectives may be historical, religious, socio-cultural and political among others. The book equally seeks to explore such representations in diverse media notably cinema, television, games, magazines, comics, photojournalism, advertising and online platforms among others.

Target Audience
The target audience of this book will consist of students, scholars, media practitioners, policy makers, international relation experts, politicians and other professionals in representation research. 

Recommended Topics
  • Global media coverage of poverty, war, natural catastrophe and elections in the global south
  • Aid organizations, media and the global south
  • Portrayal of African, Asian or South American politicians in the western media
  • Fake news and the representation of poor countries in the global media
  • Western media representation of democratization in the global south
  • International politics, diplomacy and media representations of the global south
  • Covering poverty and epidemics as a way of shaming under developed countries
  • Western media representations of primitivism in poor countries
  • Pan-Africanism and African media representation of African countries
  • Cultural affirmation and the deconstruction of negative image of the global south

  • Western vs non-western media representation of the global south (case studies are encouraged here)
  • Audiences perceptions of media representations of poor and developing countries
  • Representation of the global south on online platforms, in advertising discourse or animated cartoons  


Submission Procedure
