Global Energy Partnerships: Green Colonialism and an Ecological New International Economic Order
摘要
This chapter examines the contemporary relevance of the New International Economic Order (NIEO) and the Brandt Commission's suggestions in the climate and energy context, focusing on African nations. It analyzes recent global political and economic shifts, highlighting NIEO and Brandt Commission deficiencies in energy and climate policies. It explores persistent North–South dependency patterns, labelling them as energy imperialism and green colonialism with financial access as an example. Furthermore, the text considers the potential of a renewed ‘New International Economic Order’ (NIEO2) for promoting global partnerships for socio-ecological transformation. It draws on Global Ecological Political Economy, linking dependency, imperialism, and colonialism theories with ecological aspects.
