Résumé
This open access book points at some of the problematic aspects of international partnerships that continue to be shaped by colonialism. A &“global partnership for sustainable development&” is the 17th of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). However, research points to… shortcomings and problematic aspects of international partnerships that have been shaped by colonialism and continue to reflect unequal power relations between the global North and South. Hence, the chapters of this edited volume explore how global partnerships can be established in a neocolonial environment in the fields of development cooperation, the global economy and knowledge production. The contributions were written by members of the Global Partnership Network (GPN), one of the Centres of Excellence for Exchange and Development funded by the German Ministry for Development Cooperation, which has been working intensively and critically on the topic of partnerships and North-South relations over the past four years.
