Paperback. Condizione: New. Most explanations for the bumpy post-independence trajectory of many countries in Africa and the Middle East presuppose the existence of an objective, universal development format, modelled on western European civilisational principles. Decolonising International Solidarity argues that the supposed universality of the civilisational model that was 'offered' during and after colonisation in exchange for the 'resources' of Africa and the Middle East was flawed, not only in its social, cultural, political, economic and historical underpinnings but also in its environmental assumptions. The latter is a dimension that has, surprisingly, received little attention in post-independence literature on colonisation. This natural environmental lens on development challenges also offers an innovative perspective on current issues of governance, agricultural development and environmental management, multiculturalism and migration in developing and rich countries. The book concludes with some proposals for a decolonised global solidarity framework that values rather than erases diversity.

Hardback. Condizione: New. Examines how colonial powers disrupted African and Middle Eastern civilisations, creating lasting development challenges and argues that understanding the specific environmental and historical contexts in which civilisations developed can guide decolonised approaches to aid, governance, multiculturalism and global solidarity.Numerous authors have wondered why, in so many countries, the 'colonial freight train' of schools, roads, mines, plantations and legal systems stalled or even derailed after Independence. Many answers have been offered to this question. However, most of those fail to give sufficient weight to the crucial differences in the physical realities in which the civilisations of both coloniser and colonised had evolved, as well as to the profound culture shock which independence brought to the populations that had been conquered, ruled and re-moulded by another civilisation, for so long.Decolonising International Solidarity explains how colonisers profoundly uprooted the civilisations they encountered across Africa and the Middle East. These civilisations had evolved in the face of serious soil constraints, a high degree of climatic unpredictability and frequent natural disasters. The colonising powers attempted to replace them with their own civilisation that had evolved in much more favourable environmental conditions, a stable climate and infrequent natural disaster. The impact of this transformation created a legacy that seriously constrained the development of the new states that arose when the colonisers left.The persistence of this colonialist civilisational project still affects us today, in overseas development assistance, and in migration and community relations in the colonisers' home countries. Decolonising International Solidarity argues that a better understanding of the different conditions in which civilisations evolved prior to, during and after the colonial era offers opportunities for improved development outcomes and an appreciation of the historical pathways of the communities involved. This better understanding translates into a counter-narrative about core civilisational values that respects and builds on diversity rather than on an assumed superior, universal Western model. This suggests innovative approaches to multi-culturalism and migration in Europe, economic development and governance in formerly colonised countries, aid and colonial reparations. The book concludes with a call for a new era of Global Solidarity based on global compacts and equality among partners, as are being piloted under the climate negotiations. Thus, the book concludes, genuine decolonisation can finally begin.

Softcover met illustratie, 290 pagina's, 22 x 14 cm. Nederlandstalig. Als nieuw. ISBN 9789463969888. Grondstoffen zoals kobalt of aardolie maken nog maar sinds kort deel uit van het samenspel tussen mensen, samenlevingen en hun natuurlijke rijkdommen. Regen, zon, landbouwgrond, bossen en rivieren speelden het grootste deel van de menselijke geschiedenis een veel belangrijkere rol. Zij bepaalden of een samenleving overschotten dan wel tekorten kon verwachten, hoe toegankelijk gebieden waren en welke afspraken bevolkingsgroepen met elkaar maakten. In tegenstelling tot wat dikwijls gedacht wordt, is het potentieel van hernieuwbare rijkdommen in West-Europa gemiddeld veel hoger dan in Afrika en het Midden-Oosten. Seizoenen zijn er meer voorspelbaar, landbouwgronden rijker, en bevaarbare rivieren verbinden er meer landen. Dit creëerde extra kansen voor economische groei. Maar om de motor van die groei draaiende te houden, waren grondstoffen, arbeid en afzetmarkten van elders nodig. Koloniale grondstoffen ruilen voor Westerse beschaving, het leek een voor de hand liggende strategie. Vanuit deze ongewone invalshoek analyseert Jullie rijkdommen voor onze beschaving de kolonisatie van het mondiale Zuiden in de 19de en 20ste eeuw. Die laat ons toe om ? weliswaar te laat ? beter te begrijpen waarom de koloniale ruil in wezen onzin was, maar ook waarom de postkoloniale periode dikwijls zo moeizaam verloopt. Gelukkig kan deze les ook helpen om de wereldwijde diversiteit aan volkeren in stand te houden, niet als een lappendeken van ongelijkheden maar als een unieke en kleurrijke mozaïek. Paul Vossen studeerde af als bio-ingenieur en licentiaat Conflict en Ontwikkeling aan de Universiteit Gent.
