Decolonising through South-South cooperation (SSC)?
10 Novembro 2025, 16:30 • Thomas Gerhard Erich Muhr
SSC is the key driver of the ongoing construction of a multi-polar world order, however, marginalised as a knowledge field in Development Studies. This session approached SSC as a state-led, counter-hegemonic and potentially decolonising political project and strategy. We explord its history, conceptual, philosophical and ideological underpinnings, actors (eg. BRICS+), and contemporary practices and projects – and inherent contradictions.
