The Quest for Economic and Monetary Sovereignty in 21st Century Africa
With this international conference, we aim to open the discussions and debates on money, debt and dependency and to bring the study of African dependency into the conversation on global monetary relations that are too often pursued from a largely Eurocentric perspective. During this conference, we will address questions regarding the potential shapes and forms of African monetary and financial independence and sovereignty and what this would entail. We will further explore the leeways for monetary policies for countries that depend on varying degrees of monetary sovereignty. Finally, we will concretely investigate how alternative and transformative forms of organizing financial and monetary systems enable the socioecological transformation of the continent and can help develop a dignified life in the African context.
