Abstract

The philosophical traits and historical experiences of Africa and Asia have not received due attention in the ideational structure of global affairs. The afro-Asian resurgence has created scope for the incorporation of pre-existing practices and values of these regions into the analytical construct of any global and humane response. The study is qualitative research and has used the case study method with an analytical framework. Apart from available literature, interaction, and discussions with concerned persons and their feedback has been used in the study. The paper consists of four parts, first, conceptualize the Afro-Asian world views, second looks at the significance of Ubuntu, third reflects on Confucian Communitarianism, and final part focuses on their relevance in globalizing the humanitarian interrelationships. Gradually evolved democratic institutions, inspiration from societal values of respective local spaces, rather than the arbitrarily crafted ones, are essential for global peace. The integration of the ancient civilizational ethos into the analytical frame enhances the likelihood of humanitarian response becoming global in scope and sensitive in substance.
