Summary/Abstract: In the unfolding narrative of global political dynamics, particularly in the realms of climate change, economic policies, trade agreements, and environmental concerns, there is a compelling need to examine the intricate web of power relations that continues to shape the global landscape. This chapter seeks to provide a comprehensive analysis of these dynamics, exploring how historical patterns of influence and control persist in modern frameworks, from economic neocolonialism to climate change negotiations. Our exploration begins with an examination of the continuing impact of colonial legacies in current geopolitical and economic structures, where former colonial powers maintain influence over their erstwhile colonies through sophisticated, albeit subtle, mechanisms of control.
