La crisis climática es uno de los mayores desafíos de nuestro tiempo al transformar la economía de la vida y la geopolítica a nivel global. El libro Sur global, financiación y digitalización corresponde al Tomo 1 de la obra Crisis climática y transición justa en Asia y África que sitúa a ambos continentes en el centro de los debates sobre sostenibilidad, justicia climática y desarrollo sustentable subrayando la urgencia de construir alternativas que reconcilien economía, sociedad y naturaleza. Este volumen examina el papel del Sur Global en la reconfiguración económica y financiera internacional. Desde una perspectiva crítica de la economía heterodoxa, analiza los retos de la financiarización, la inclusión digital y la digitalización de la economía, mostrando cómo estas dinámicas pueden abrir oportunidades de desarrollo, pero también reproducir desigualdades y nuevas formas de dependencia. A través de estudios de caso en Asia y África, el libro revela cómo las transformaciones tecnológicas y financieras actuales moldean los márgenes de acción de los países en la construcción de un futuro más justo y sostenible.

Three decades after the birth of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) forum, profound changes have been observed in the international economic system. Today, this intergovernmental forum faces major challenges in implementing its ambitious agenda in the areas of economic liberalization, trade facilitation and cooperation among member countries. Readers of this book will find in it a detailed diagnosis of its evolution and achievements, but also of the problems it faces in the present "crisis of multilateralism", triggered by the neo-protectionist policies of the United States. In order to achieve this objective, leading national researchers from public and private higher education institutions, most of which are members of the Mexican Consortium of APEC Study Centers, were invited to participate under the leadership of the APEC Study Center located within the University Program for Asian and African Studies (PUEAA) of the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM).
