Digital platforms as institutional actors in the Global South – Evidence from India's informal sector
Digital platforms are transforming labour markets, yet their role in shaping institutional contexts, particularly in informal settings, remains underexplored. Drawing on institutional voids and plurality frameworks, paper examines how platforms act as significant institutional actors, mediating the relationship between workers, and the market. We place this under empirical scrutiny through qualitative research with gig workers in Mumbai, India. O…
International Collaboration in Times of Pandemics: An Urgent Need for Reforming our Global Financial System
Better, swifter and more responsive international coordination is needed within our global financial system for the containment of the pandemic and its effects. This requires better international tax coordination with a higher global minimum corporate tax, comprehensive coverage of sectors and firms, inclusion of all current tax havens and more generous redistribution of excess profits to developing nations based on user location. There also need…
A Development Lens to Frugal Innovation: Bringing Back Production and Technological Capabilities into the Discourse
Vital entrepreneurial ecosystems: The case of ICT in Yaba, Nigeria
Entrepreneurial ecosystems (EE) are concentrations of urban economic activity where businesses start-up, innovate, grow, and create opportunities for other businesses. Successful cases of EE in cities in the global South call for a contextualisation of the framework to those challenging conditions. We argue that their success results from their vitality, defined by growth and reputation, density and diversity of actors, networks coordinated on tr…
How Far Does the Diverse Economies Approach Take Us
Julie and Katherine Gibson-Graham and Kelly Dombroski (eds), The Handbook of Diverse Economies. Cheltenham and Northampton, MA: Edward Elgar, 2020. 546 pp. Hardback £ 199.80. There is a long-standing tradition of thought on human-centred and communitarian economies. It connects to a search for utopias (no lands) and udetopias (neverlands) which has accelerated with the advent of capitalism and the obsession with capital accumulation that gave the…
Implementing the voluntary guidelines on the responsible governance of tenure of land, fisheries and forests from the working with people model: Lessons from Colombia and Guatemala
This article presents an innovative methodological approach for the implementation of the Voluntary Guidelines on the Responsible Governance of Tenure of Land, Fisheries and Forests (VGGT) based on the model 'Working with People' (WWP). This WWPmodel is proposed for the application of the VGGT in Colombia and Guatemala, based on four phases. The results show that the WWPmodel turned out to be a useful tool for implementation of the VGGT. The gene…
Covid-19 in Brazil in an era of necropolitics: Resistance in the Face of Disaster
The Covid-19 pandemic has been a massive disaster in Brazil, causing more than 350,000 deaths as of April 2021. Moreover, President Jair Bolsonaro suggested that already marginalised groups should take what came to them, as if they were an expendable surplus in his necropolitical perspective. However, civil society initiatives are emerging to tackle the impacts of this crisis. This paper adds to current literature on the forms and levels of resis…

Argentina's Parallel Currency: The Economy of the Poor
Analyzes the rise and fall of the Red de Trueque (launched in 1995 by a group of environmentalists who exchanged goods and services at their own ‘market’ using a system of mutual credit) in Argentina. This book identifies rules of governance and sustainability for institutional settings in which state regulation is minimal

Land grabbing and global capitalist accumulation: Key features in Latin America
We introduce this special issue by explaining seven characteristics of land grabbing in Latin America. These features are not unique to the region. By highlighting them - arguing, for instance, that a key aspect in Latin America is intra-regional land grabbing driven by (trans)Latina companies - we hope to inspire new cross-regional comparisons to understand the dynamics of "global" land grabbing. Our focus on Latin America challenges some proble…
Land grabbing in Latin America and the Caribbean
Land grabbing has gained momentum in Latin America and the Caribbean during the past decade. The phenomenon has taken different forms and character as compared to processes that occur in other regions of the world, especially Africa. It puts into question some of the assumptions in the emerging literature on land grabbing, suggesting these are too food-centered/too food crisis-centered, too land-centred, too centred on new global food regime play…
What was the Deal for the Participants of the Argentine Local Currency Systems, the Redes de Trueque
Local complementary currency systems (LCCSs), like the Local Exchange Trading System scheme in the English-speaking world, are one of the alternative economies organised to overcome the exclusionary aspects of the regular market economy and support those short of money. I analyse the benefits for the poor and unemployed of the Argentine variant, called Clubes de Trueque. I conclude that the Clubes de Trueque were a meeting point of social strata …
