Description
The political condition of indebtedness in the Global South is particularly acute, with high sovereign debt burdens significantly impacting state capacity, poverty and hunger, an increased vulnerability to mechanisms of indebtification and a set of political struggles to do with the legitimacy of debt, its repudiation and its reformulation in the light of imperial service. The papers on this panel highlight a variety of ways in which the present politics of indebtedness are encountered at empirical, normative and political levels.
