🇬🇧 Content:
This keynote explores how global supply chains continue historically rooted power structures and colonial patterns of exploitation. It highlights that economic prosperity in the Global North is often based on unequal trade relations, labor exploitation, and environmental destruction in the Global South. At the core is the question of how these structures can be made visible and changed in a sustainable way. The keynote also critically questions whether global supply chains can truly be structured on equal footing – or whether the concept of international trade itself must be reimagined.
The keynote does not understand decolonization as a technocratic adjustment, but as a profound engagement with ownership, power, and responsibility. In conclusion, it becomes clear: decolonization is not only an ethical, but also a structural and economic necessity in order to address global crises in solidarity.
By the end of the event, participants will have:
-
recognized that global supply chains are not neutral structures, but are based on historical power and exploitation relations that still shape the present.
-
understood why decolonizing economic relations must go beyond technical adjustments and fundamentally address questions of ownership and power.
