Polycrisis and Global Inequality

8

This article interrogates the concept of ‘polycrisis’ through a decolonial, Global South-centered lens, arguing that current polycrisis discourse inadequately addresses entrenched global inequalities and power asymmetries. It contends that the convergence of crises is not a novel universal condition but a structural feature of neoliberal global capitalism, long experienced in the Global South. The author advocates for a post-neoliberal approach that centres around equality, sustainability, and justice to navigate the polycrisis.
