• Resumen

  • This essay offers a relational interpretation of global governance since the 1960s. I trace how interacting ideas, events, and worldviews shape global strategies for governing relationships with the global South. Specifically, prescriptions of modernization via capitalism invariably involve a reimagination of Western civilization.
