Background

For decades, Peter Gibbon has been a reference point for scholars working on African political economy, international development and agrarian change, providing key contributions to critical debates on structural adjustment, market liberalization and economic reforms in the continent.

Following his arrival in Copenhagen in the mid-1990s, he also became one of the early and most influential contributors to global value chain analysis.

His 20-year research work at CDR and then DIIS has contributed to placing these institutions at the centre of international debates on the changing configuration of the global economy and the role of Africa in it, and on how standards and certifications shape trade and development trajectories. 

On the occasion of his retirement from DIIS, this seminar celebrates Peter Gibbon’s intellectual contributions as seen from key scholars in these fields.
