Abstract

BONILLA C., Daniel. Geopolitics of Knowledge and Decolonization: Is Eurocentrism put to the Test?. Ágora U.S.B. [online]. 2019, vol.19, n.1, pp.149-169. ISSN 1657-8031.  https://doi.org/10.21500/16578031.4125.

Eurocentrism has founded its hegemony as the center of global thinking in a hierarchical relationship, which has had few and weak challengers. Despite the efforts of decolonizing the creation of knowledge, there is no any evident meaningful change in the geopolitical structures of global knowledge. While China is presented as a challenge, one of its strategies to gain acceptance in the world has been, in turn, its westernization.

Keywords : Decoloniality; Coloniality; Geopolitics of Knowledge; Critical Geopolitics.
