Power and Solidarity in North-South Partnerships
<\/strong><\/em>
Equality and partnership are terms that are readily and frequently used in the North-South-, solidarity- or ,development\u2018-cooperation. They indicate progressiveness and demonstrate equal status. However, do this terms actually transcent the rethoric level? What kind of thought and structural patterns are the basis of North-South partnerships? What perspectives do the so-called Southern partners have on the collaboration?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The publication \u201eThe Fairy Tale of Equality\u201c by glokal e.V.<\/em> brings together ten activists and NGO representatives from the Global South and North in order to illuminate different aspects of NGO structures, school partnerships, volunteering, and solidarity work. A theoretical introduction familiarises with the historical and political framework, and a checklist for reflection and practice allows readers to analyse and transform their own activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
