| Editorial |
| Today we are excited to announce the publication of the long-awaited open access sequel to our 2019 volume « Building Development Studies for the New Millennium« ! Under the title « Challenging Global Development« , the book examines the contexts in which decoloniality, solidarity, and conviviality can be developed and provides a reconsideration of how knowledge is produced, validated, and disseminated. On another note, and in the context of last week’s UN International Day for the Eradication of Poverty, our two latest blog posts shed the light on the reasons for the dramatic failure in this regard and come up with constructive proposals to turn the wheel around. Our thematic focus is on migration today, enjoy the read! |
| Out Now: Challenging Global Development |
| This book presents contributions to decolonize Development Studies. It seeks to promote and sustain new forms of solidarity and conviviality that work towards achieving social justice. Recognising global poverty and inequalities as historic injustices, the book addresses how these can be challenged through teaching, research, and engagement in policy and practice, and the sorts of political barriers these might encounter. From a variety of perspectives and contexts, these chapters examine how decoloniality and solidarity can be developed, offering in-depth historical, theoretical, epistemological, and empirical analyses.

They suggest four approaches to move poverty eradication up on the development agenda again, among them linking poverty eradication to the climate change agenda and applying social protection strategies.

| Will growth be enough to end poverty? New Projections of the UN Sustainable Development Goals The basic poverty-related goals « will not be achieved by 2030 without radical changes in policies to address national and global inequalities », warn the four authors of our latest post. They have made new projections across a set of poverty-related SDGs with a sobering outcome, identifying the post-pandemic debt overhang and rising interest rates as root cause of this « catastrophic failure ».
