Glenda Sluga-Climate and Capitalists, economic history of the 1972 UN Human Environment Conference
The lecture takes up the 1972 UN Human Environment conference: the first example of the attempted global governance of environmental issues and climate change that foundered on the challenges of development and North-South antagonisms. That history connects Delos, the ancient capital of the Athenian League, with the Club of Rome, and the New International Economic Order. The talk's specific aim is to recover the importance of business and intellectual networks, in all their problematic historical messiness and stir them back into our understanding of the changing character of ‘global’ imaginaries. This is a history that reconnects debates about the environment and development, as well as the interdisciplinary not always visible connections between scientists, humanists, women activists, and businessmen. It evokes the longer history of the international governance of economic problems, and of economic actors in international politics.

George Bob Milliar- Party Democracy in Africa: the promotion of market practices in Ghana
George Bob-Milliar is Senior Lecturer at the Department of History and Political Studies and Director of the Centre for Cultural and African Studies (CeCASt) at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology. His research focuses on democratization in Africa, electoral politics in Ghana, informal economies, African Diaspora, and chieftaincy. He has been visiting fellow at various international universities currently edits the Journal of African Political Economy and Development (JAPED) and is member of the editorial board of African Affairs. In the last two-half decades party democracy has taken roots in many corners of Sub-Saharan Africa. Liberal democracy tends to favour capitalist forms of development and market practices over statist policies. One can trace the liberalization of the African economies to the sustained role of the IMF, World Bank, and western capitalist countries in pushing for structural adjustment changes in Africa. The purpose of this talk is to question whether liberal democracy as practiced in Africa has any bearing on the promotion of capitalist forms of development and market practices. Using Ghana as a case study, this talk tries to answer the question: what is the link between party politics, capitalist development and the growth of the private sector? There has been the recognition of the efficacy of market developments in some African states, including Ghana.

Marc Frey: The Office Du Niger in Mali
How did colonial development evolve and are their continuities with post colonial development? Do development doctrines influence work? How do development priorities change over time? Marc Frey, professor of international history at the Bundeswehr University, draws lessons on development from the Office du Niger, a large irrigation system in the river Niger. As one of the oldest developmental projects, the Office Du Niger is a prism through which larger shifts in development theories and practices can be analyzed over a long period of time. The podcast was recorded on April 22nd, 2021 as part of the Center’s lecture series.
