Since the mid-1990s, my own preference usually has been to speak in terms of the global North and the global South, since this language suggests several contrasts that I find important in the present global political economy.

Nussbaum’s work on this topic draws on Amartya Sen’s concept of capabilities, which was developed originally as an alternative to welfarism for measuring international levels of development. Nussbaum has modified the concept of capabilities and uses it to counter “cultural relativism,” which she thinks often serves as a pretext for excusing outrageous injustice to women in poor countries.
