Within the global health field, progress is being made to adopt a justice and sustainability-centred approach by advancing what has been named a planetary health agenda. Meanwhile, an increasing number of global health scholars argue for the decolonisation of the field. Yet, amongst these collective efforts to 'transform' global health thinking, a thorough analysis of political economy dimensions is often missing. 'Growthism', the belief that more production is necessarily good, continues to prevail. Truly committing to a decolonial eco-just global health agenda requires addressing the continuation of colonial arrangements within the structure of the global economy, removing growth dependencies and ushering in post-growth policies.
在全球卫生领域,通过推进所谓的行星健康议程,朝着以公正和可持续性为中心的方法取得了进展。与此同时,越来越多的全球卫生学者呼吁该领域非殖民化。然而,在这些“改变”全球卫生思维的集体努力中,往往缺乏对政治经济层面的透彻分析。“增长主义”,即更多生产必然更好的信念,仍然盛行。真正致力于实现非殖民化、生态公正的全球卫生议程,需要解决全球经济结构中殖民安排的延续问题,消除增长依赖,并推行后增长政策。
