Par Helmut Sorge & Aude Darnal

Ce podcast du Policy Center for the New South, enregistré dans le cadre de la série Leadership Talks, met en évidence les biais des think tanks internationaux, encore largement dominés par des perspectives occidentales. Il insiste sur la nécessité de renforcer la représentation des chercheurs du Sud global pour enrichir les débats et proposer des approches plus ancrées dans les réalités locales. Il souligne enfin le rôle d’une nouvelle génération d’experts et l’importance des réseaux et stratégies de communication pour accroître leur influence.
