Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, or OECD, is often in the statistics as the richest and most developed countries. Until now, the members today is:
Australia. Austria, Belgium, Canada, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Japan, Korea, Luxembourg, Mexico, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, Republic
Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, United Kingdom, United States
As you see, almost all the members are from Europe and North America. But now they are going to elect five new members:
Brazil, India, Indonesia, China and South Africa. This is good of several reasons:
1) More members from the global south means that they can come with new perspectives and ideas how we can cooperate without boarders and make a better world.
2) We have to rethink our view of the world, now countries in both Africa and South America are developing. How can we make a better name then developing and developed countries?
