DESCRIPTION:In this debate we want to tackle controversies and contradict
 ions related to the reception and perception of the degrowth in the Glob
 al South. While the main principles of degrowth highly resonate and shar
 e some direction with various principles and philosophies such as Buen V
 ivir in Latin America\, the language of 'degrowth' is far from ideal whe
 n it comes to terms of climate justice\, emancipation or right to develo
 pment. Coined for the developed and industrialised North\, the concept o
 f degrowth sometimes appears as an unjust - and again - neocolonial proj
 ect which could be misused in order to normalise poverty or disable deve
 lopment. With our conversation we will try to unlock the debate which is
  captured in the tension of conflict between consumption-oriented exctra
 ctivism of natural resources and the degrowth narrative often misinterpr
 eted as a new sacrifice or imposed austerity. Last but not least\, the p
 anel will also address the role of EU trade and investment policy in the
  Global South and its responsibility in shaping growth and degrowth deba
 te.
