Abstract

As part of the special issue commemorating the 50th anniversary of the New International Economic Order (NIEO), this article critically analyses its significance, achievements, and setbacks from the perspective of Samir Amin. Amin, a prominent scholar known for his ideas on the role of global capitalism in the underdevelopment of the Global South, significantly influenced the formation of NIEO. The continued extraction of raw materials by the developed world along with the enduring legacy of colonialism and other exploitative global strategies has hindered the development of the Global South. He called for a “delinking” strategy to rectify these disparities and promote development in the Global South. We show Amin’s continued influence on African developmental thought and its potential to revitalise and advance the vision of NIEO in Africa.
