The politics of university curriculum decolonising in neoliberalised higher education
This article critically reports insights from my semi-systematic review of university curriculum decolonising (UCD) literature conducted in English and Portuguese between 2023 and 2026. The semi-systematic approach allowed to combine systematic search of the Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO), Scopus, and Web of Science Core Collection (WoS) databases, with purposive search to further trace specific themes. The analysis adopted a polit…
Gramsci E a Luta Decolonial Do Sul Global
This article establishes dialogue between Gramsci and decolonial thought, identifying Gramsci as an anti- and decolonial Global Southerner. By reference to Gramsci’s adage that ‘the line of development is towards internationalism, but the point of departure is “national”’, the article discusses the ALBA–TCP/ALBA Movements “pluri-scalar war of position”, which operates across subnational, national, international, transnational and supranational ge…
Reclaiming the politics of South-South cooperation
Framed by the North–South conflict, this article conducts a historico-conceptual analysis of the politics of South-South cooperation (SSC) from a decolonial Global South perspective. Based on documentary analysis and a review of academic SSC literature, three distinct periods of SSC post-1945 are identified: Concertation (1945–1981); Containment (1981–1995); and Cooptation vs Confrontation (1995–present). This periodization complements previous e…
Counter-Hegemonic Strategy from the Global South
Within the context of the crisis of capitalist world order (Gills 2020), a resurgent interest in the historical question of strategy in/for progressive transformation against the accumulated power of global capital spans the social sciences and activist camps. Except for human geographers (e.g. Castree, Featherstone and Herod 2008; Sparke 2008), however, neglected in these discussions is the role of socio-spatial theory in engendering structural …
The Trajectory of Global Education Policy
South–South Cooperation and the Geographies of Latin America–Caribbean Integration and Development
Structured around the case of South–South cooperation in the construction of “complementary economic zones” among the member states of the ALBA‐TCP, Petrocaribe, CARICOM and MERCOSUR, this article argues for a socio‐spatial approach to the study of the Latin America–Caribbean integration and development. Two interrelated arguments are developed: first, in contrast to methodologically nationalist approaches, which typically view the regionalisms t…

Beyond ‘BRICS’
Grounded in a review of past and present academic South–South cooperation literatures, this article advances ten theses that problematise empirical, theoretical, conceptual and methodological issues essential to discussions of South–South cooperation in the 21st century. This endeavour is motivated by the perceived undermining, especially in the contemporary Anglophone academic South–South cooperation literature, of the emancipatory potential his…
South–South cooperation in education and development
Modernizing Minds in El Salvador
Lindo-Fuentes, Héctor and Ching, Erik (2012) Modernizing Minds in El Salvador: Education Reform and the Cold War, 1960–1980, University of New Mexico Press (Albuquerque, NM), xv + 341 pp. $29.95 pbk. Centred around the 1968 education reform, which promoted television as the exclusive mode of education delivery, this book is an excellent and stimulating historical study of Salvadoran politics and society, of much greater universal relevance than t…

Optimism reborn. Nicaragua's Participative Education Revolution, the Citizen Power development model and the construction of ‘21st century socialism’
This paper explores Nicaragua's Participative Education Revolution and the Citizen Power national development model in the construction of socialism in the 21st century in Latin America and the Caribbean through the Bolivarian Alliance for the Peoples of Our America–Peoples' Trade Agreement. Centred around the notion of ‘revolutionary democracy’, I argue that Citizen Power, promoted by the Sandinista National Liberation Front (Frente Sandinista d…
The Politics of Space in the Bolivarian Alliance for the Peoples of Our America–Peoples' Trade Agreement (Alba–TCP)
This article shows that counter to the common representation of the Bolivarian Alliance for the Peoples of Our America–Peoples' Trade Agreement (ALBA–TCP) as simply a bloc of nation-states, the initiative in fact constitutes a counter-hegemonic globalization project that operates through inter- and transnational processes across a range of (spatial) scales, from the local to the global. I draw on John Agnew's notion of the ‘territorial trap’ and …
Bolivarian Globalization? The New Left's Struggle in Latin America and the Caribbean to Negotiate a Revolutionary Approach to Humanitarian Militarism and International Intervention
Within a critical globalization theory framework, this article analyses the military dimension of the Bolivarian Alliance for the Peoples of Our America–Peoples’ Trade Agreement (ALBA-TCP) and its agenda of ‘peacekeeping’ and ‘humanitarian intervention’ in Haiti. Since its launch in 2004, the ALBA-TCP has established itself as an increasingly institutionalized, multidimensional, and pluriscalar counter-hegemonic Latin American and Caribbean (LAC)…
(Re)constructing Popular Power in Our America
With Nicaragua's Sandinista People's Revolution (1979–90) as an ideological reference point, this paper adopts an historical approach to a theorisation of the contemporary (re)construction of popular power in Latin America and the Caribbean through the Bolivarian Alliance for the Peoples of Our America–Peoples' Trade Agreement (alba–tcp). At the core of the analysis is the Venezuelan government's concept of ‘protagonistic revolutionary democracy’…

Counter‐hegemonic regionalism and higher education for all
This paper employs new regionalism theory and regulatory regionalism theory in its analysis and theorisation of the Bolivarian Alliance for the Peoples of Our America (ALBA) as a counter‐hegemonic Latin American and Caribbean (LAC) regionalism. As (initially) the regionalisation of Venezuela's Bolivarian Revolution, ALBA is centred around the idea of a twenty‐first century socialism that replaces the ‘competitive advantage’ with the ‘cooperative …
Venezuela e Alba
Partindo de um quadro teórico neo-gramsciano crítico à globalização, este artigo aplica a nova teoria do regionalismo (NTR) e a teoria do regionalismo regulatório (TRR) à sua análise e teorização dos tratados de comércio da Aliança Bolivariana para os Povos da Nossa América (ALBA-TCP) como regionalismo contra-hegemônico na América Latina e Caribe (ALC). A ALBA está centrada na ideia de um Socialismo do Século XXI, que, como (inicialmente) também …
Beratung und Macht. Organisationsberatung aus mikropolitischer Perspektive
Was tun Organisationsberater, wenn sie beraten, und was ist Beratung eigentlich? Auf der Konzeptebene ist das selbstverständlich schon oft geklärt worden. Aber was ist davon zu halten, wenn man annimmt, dass Berater auf das treffen, was Küpper und Ortmann zugespitzt so beschreiben: „In Organisationen tobt das Leben. Weit von jenen anämischen Gebilden entfernt, die in der althergebrachten Forschung unter dem Namen ‚Organisationsstruktur‘ ihr schat…
Nicaragua re‐visited
In this paper I conduct a historical analysis of the emergence of ALBA in Nicaragua prior to Daniel Ortega's return to the presidency and the country's official membership in the initiative from January 2007 on. I argue that ALBA is a rival structure that evolved from the contradictions inherent in hegemonic globalisation. Within the framework of a material analysis of poverty and exclusion under globalised neo‐liberalism, I draw particular atten…
