In 1990,the landmark report of the South Commission,chaired by Manmohan Singh,who served as Indian prime minister from2004 to 2014,represented a defining moment for the Global South,calling for South-South cooperation and consecrating the theory of the"locomotives of the South."The report emphasized that Global South countries could not expect former colonizers and imperialist forces to be the driver of their development."The new locomotive forces have to be found within the South itself,"it argued.
