Colonial heritage
D+C: Development and Cooperation, issue 11 (2024), pp. 21-34
"The prosperity of many industrialised countries was built on colonial exploitation, and the impacts of imperialism continue to haunt formerly oppressed regions. The global situation shows that neither stability nor cooperation can be taken for granted in any way. Former colonial powers must therefore continue to take responsibility for the past – not least by implementing policies that are based on genuine partnership rather than dependency." (Page 2)
