Delinking and Global Reparations - (Global Studies) by Ndongo Samba Sylla & Kai Koddenbrock (Paperback)

About the Book

A collective effort making the case for delinking and global reparations - amid ongoing and overlapping global crises affecting the Global South.

Book Synopsis

Delinking, as a concept, was initially put forward to propose a progressive economic strategy within and potentially beyond capitalism. This was based on the understanding that Western development has taken place under particular historical and ecological conditions that cannot be reproduced everywhere. Amid the ongoing and multifaceted socio-ecological crisis, the delinking agenda is now again articulated with a fresh focus on international monetary reform and global reparations. The contributions to this volume by authors from various theoretical traditions provide a wealth of insights on these questions and make the case for alternative epistemic, political and activist approaches premised on anti-imperialism and global justice.
