Mutations of globalisation and local actors’ agency: phenomena of the Social and Solidarity Economy in Uganda’s Busoga region
(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. In the course of this study, several such practices have been encountered and turned out to be in a complex relationship with globalisation. A combination of postcolonial theory, the Post-Development ...

Alternatives to ‘development’? Exploring counter‐hegemonic practices (with)in politics, economies and knowledges
(2022-10)
Postdevelopment (PD) proponents have long called for alternatives to ‘development’ as a counter to the logics and impact of Eurocentrism, coloniality and the uncritical belief in euro-modernist ideologies of progress and growth, all of which come to be subsumed as ‘development.’ The question is whether we can think of alternatives to hegemonic models of the economy, politics and knowledge whilst living and being entangled in, through and with them. This paper sets out to examine concrete social and political practices ...

The Impacts of the Movement against Neoliberal Globalisation. Institutional Reforms, a New Conception of Politics, and Postcolonial Questions
(2023-06)
This article discusses the protest movement against the neoliberal capitalist world order which emerged in the second half of the 1990s and was inspired by the Mexican Zapatistas. This movement was considerably globalised and, despite different currents, characterised by a pluralist and anarchist conceptualization of politics. The article argues that it partly succeeded in preventing further liberalisation of world trade and, above all, that it provoked numerous reforms in the global political economy institutions ...

(How) can public policies enable transformation? - Theory and practice of Post-Development in relation to the state
(2023-04)
The Post-Development critique of ‘development’ has been around for more than 30 years now. While it is far from a homogenous school of thought, let alone practice, critical interventions of Post-Development proponents have been widely acknowledged and have punctuated mainstream debates. What is missing, however, is some closer engagement with how ideas and propositions can be translated to practice, and even more specifically, if and how they are reconcilable with logics, structures and institutions of states. In ...

Land Rights for Change? On the Impasses of Cultural Politics for Economic Change
(2023-09)
Property relations have long been at the centre of social justice considerations and efforts for socio-economic change. Since the 1990s ethnic minorities who often happen to live in particularly biodiverse regions of the planet have started to challenge these often exploitative relations by claiming formal property rights based on territorially defined cultural identities. Originally celebrated by various critical schools of thought as a turning point in global neoliberal hegemony and a promising manifestation of ...

Theorising Postdevelopment
(2023-11)
The paper seeks to define and situate postdevelopment (PD) theory within the social sciences by discussing its relation to other theoretical approaches. It concludes that PD can be seen to a rather limited extent as a development theory, but rather as a sociology of knowledge of this discipline and a critiqu e of its foundation. PD shares the critique of capitalism with Marxism but also has a more negative view of industrial modernity, its relation to nature, economic growth and productivity. For some, PD is characterized ...
