Colonialidade e organizações governamentais: uma análise comparativa sobre editais de financiamentos para as dimensões de desenvolvimento e combate à pobreza, entre os anos de 2013 a 2015

Abstract

The present work aims to present the conceptions of development and the fight against poverty, the changes that have occurred since the post-Second War, as well as its origins and Eurocentric assumption. In order to demonstrate the influence of this Eurocentrism nowadays, the work will approach the mechanisms that contribute to Eurocentric and colonialist attitudes in contemporary times. In order to verify these points, the study analyzes financing announcements for the development and fight against poverty from seven States, plus the European Union, are they: Germany, Australia, Brazil, Canada, the United States, Japan and the United Kingdom, all, with the exception of Brazil, are considered developed countries. The edicts of Brazil were included in the research, because this is where we speak and the place where the research was carried out. In order to find out if there are colonialist positions in these edits, the decolonial approach is used to highlight such patterns of political behavior in the contemporary world. In the end, we seek to present alternative ways of international cooperation to the dominant Western model.
