- Abstract
This article argues that it is impossible to discuss development politics without addressing persistent imperial structures on both the cultural and the politico-economic level. The primacy of economic rationales and the lack of reflection on colonialism in global politics and economics works to disregard and indeed grand legitimacy to the historically grown imbalance of power, consequently negating the status quo of a world benefiting the few. Intercultural theories and concepts make visible and challenge these asymmetric global power relations on philosophical and ethical grounds, thus advancing reflection of the colonial paradigm, especially in development politics. Only an intercultural approach to economic ethics may lead to a broadening of interests being represented and acted upon in the global arena. This implies challenging the prevalence of economic rationales and focus instead on fundamental questions of human existence, and the (collective and individual) right to construct one's own economic environment.
