Building on current research at IDOS, Dr Sebastian Haug held a keynote lecture that explores the location and significance of the Global South, while examining global power shifts and their effects in the field of international development politics.
Dr Sebastian Haug presented his insights on “The Global South and power shifts in/through development” at the annual meeting of the Geographical Working Group on Development Theories. This event took place from 10 to 11 October 2024 at the University of Augsburg, organised by the German Geography Association. This year’s meeting focused on the contours and implications of geopolitical shocks.
The discussion with participants from various German geography institutes was lively and underlined the demand for theory-informed research that unpacks empirical material that speaks to ongoing global upheavals.
