Abstract:	The increasing economic and political contacts between countries situated in the South represents a challenge to the previously so dominant North-South relations and therefore raises a number of important questions, particularly with regard to the future of the South. To examine and discuss the problem areas involved, the Scandinavian Institute of African Studies organised a seminar in May 1981 on 'The emergence of South-South relations in a changing world order'. The agenda of the seminar concentrated on two major issues: do South-South relations contain possibilities for development in the South not found in the old international division of labour? Or do they simply possess the same exploitative characteristics as the classic North-South exchange, therefore creating a process of accelerating unequal development in the South? The present volume addresses itself to these important issues by focussing on two cases of expansionism in the South, the Brazilian penetration of West Africa and the Indian activities in Asia and Africa.
