Turning the Tables: International Development and the Game of Empires - Workshop Report
Background: "We are at a critical juncture at this moment in time, facing a growing disillusionment among different sections of the public in countries around the world, both in the South and the North, with the current neoliberal economic and political order that has dominated the world for quite some time. Growing concerns about climate change, rising income inequality, polarization, populist nationalism, and unending military conflicts are a direct consequence of this economic and political order that was historically erected by colonial empires and maintained through the ‘great games’ that the empires played to promote their economic interests and to attempt to maintain their global hegemonies. The ‘development project’ of more recent times is also seen by many as part of these games that empires have historically played to convert subsistent economies into market economies through Official Development Assistance, technical guidance, and institutional development. In this context, ‘development’ as it is known and experienced is now being questioned and contested." View the full report here, prepared by Rapporteur: Sadia M. Malik (Faculty Member, Department of Economics, York University).
