This is because the need for digital identity databases emerges from regulations to counter terror finance. Examples from India ...

(2022-02)
This paper examines transformations occurring in everyday life in Uganda’s Busoga region as a result of globalisation and the population’s responses to its manifestations. This is done with special emphasis on alternative economic practices, which can be classified as activities of the Social and Solidarity Economy.

Alternatives to ‘development’? Exploring counter‐hegemonic practices (with)in politics, economies and knowledges
(2022-10)

This paper sets out to examine concrete social and political practices ...

Jenseits des Horizonts
(Schwabe Verlag, 2022)
Im Folgenden ist deshalb zu überlegen, was diesseits und was jenseits des kartografischen Horizonts damaliger Menschen lag, wie sich die Relationen zwischen beiden Zonen in Abhängigkeit von Zeit, visualisiertem Raum und vorhandenem Wissen verschoben und welche Relevanz dem jenseitig Gelegenen dabei zukam.
