Europe and the USA shaped the global order for a long time.

🌐 But their influence is changing - new players such as China and India are gaining in importance.

❓ What does this change mean?
A threat to existing power relations - or an opportunity for greater global justice and sustainability?

📚 The event will take a look at
- historical inequalities
- global shifts in power
- Capitalism, consumption and resource use
- Contradictions between political demands and actual practice
- Climate injustice & racism

🔍 It becomes clear that power models have been changing for centuries.
The so-called "West" emerged from specific historical and economic developments - its change in meaning is part of a long-term global process.
