dc.description.abstract |
This article engages with the challenges facing genuine research collaboration
and knowledge production in a North–South interaction. It maps the
asymmetries in global knowledge production in general and revisits African
realities in particular. Using the experiences of the Norwegian research
programme NORGLOBAL as an empirical reference point, it critically explores
the limitations of partnerships and identifies some challenges resulting from the
centuries of Northern hegemony established in all spheres related to global affairs
and interactions. It presents some thoughts and suggestions as to how these
limitations might be reduced or eliminated in favour of a truly joint effort to
meet the challenges on the way towards equal relations and mutual respect. |

Le présent article se penche sur les défis en matière de collaboration de
recherche véritable et de production de connaissances, dans le cadre d’une
interaction Nord-Sud. Il dresse les asymétries dans la production mondiale
de connaissances en général et revisite les réalités africaines en particulier. En
utilisant les expériences du programme de recherche norvégien NORGLOBAL
comme point de référence empirique, il explore de manière critique les limites
des partenariats et identifie quelques défis résultant des siècles d’hégémonie
du Nord établie dans tous les domaines liés aux affaires et interactions à
l’échelle mondiale. Il présente quelques réflexions et suggestions quant à la
façon dont ces limites pourraient être réduites ou éliminées en faveur d’un
véritable effort conjoint pour relever les défis et arriver à des relations d’égalité
et de respect mutuel. |
