The new Law on Cooperation for Sustainable Development and Global Solidarity. A critical and alternative approach

Keywords: development cooperation, hegemony, critical theories, policymaking

Abstract

This article critically examines the new Spanish development cooperation law, analysing the process of the construction of hegemony over the law, with a level of social and political support that is close to consensus. The article studies the expression of the historical bloc around the processes of development cooperation in Spain and the interclass alliances that have made the new law possible, as well as the way in which ideological productions generate antinomian conceptualisations between development and sustainability or feminism, as a way of ideologically managing the inequalities generated by capitalism. It also points to economic and ideological processes that are not mentioned in the law.
