My research focuses on analyzing the geopolitical dynamics between the North and South Global, examining the historical, economic, and social foundations of development imbalances and ost of inaction. Building on the work and reflections of thinkers such as Nicholas Georgescu-Roegen, Bruno Latour, Vandana Shiva, Joseph Nye, and Hans Küng, it seeks to explore the ethical and performative dimensions of these power relations in order to identify avenues for transformation.
These inquiries aim to contribute to the establishment of new diplomatic balances between the North and South, capable of simultaneously addressing the challenges of poverty and biodiversity preservation.

In the 21st century, humanity faces a paradox: despite unprecedented scientific and technological advances, it remains ill-equipped to address escalating ecological, social, and political crises. The rapid degradation of biodiversity, the growing socio-environmental inequalities, geopolitical tensions, and the fragility of global governance highlight the limitations of a development model still largely shaped by extractivist and homogenizing logic.
It is within this context that this research is situated, focusing on North-South asymmetries and differentiated sustainability. This work seeks to rethink sustainability not as a universal technocratic standard, but as a process of intercultural translation, where local knowledge, peasant practices, and Indigenous experiences are fully acknowledged.
The research revolves around a central question:
To what extent can a pluralistic and decolonial approach to sustainability, incorporating peasant and Indigenous knowledge, transform the international governance of biodiversity and food systems to promote environmental justice and food sovereignty?
The work is guided by three main axes:
-
Historical asymmetries and contested universalism
-
Ontological pluralism
-
Diplomatic frameworks
This research adopts an interdisciplinary and comparative approach, combining documentary analysis, international case studies, and critical cross-data analysis.
This cross-methodological approach enables the identification of typologies of sustainability practices and their differentiated impacts on biodiversity, food security, and environmental justice.
Keywords: differentiated sustainability, North-South asymmetries, agroecology, biodiversity, environmental justice, food sovereignty, intercultural diplomacy.
