The Group of 77, a caucus of 131 countries from the South, has been in existence for nearly fifty years, yet there is not much recent literature available about its genesis, how it is organized, and what its positions are in the Main Committees of the UN General Assembly. Besides trying to fill this gap, this publication explores opposing positions and perspectives that fuel the North-South divide and examines a number of scenarios that may influence its future.
