다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Generally the term "North" and "South" are mainly understood in their geographic context meaning Northern and Southern hemispheres of the Globe. In the world of Development, these terms are more used to mean Developed and Developing countries, believing in an inherent assumption that the countries, the North have much more developed than the South. It means that they are economically rich, technically sophisticated and materially advanced. All these imply that the North is more powerful than the South.
