Guest-edited by Detlef Müller-Mahn, Eric Kioko and Theo Aalders (University of Bonn), this special issue of Third World Quarterly explores “ghost projects,” or unfinished infrastructure developments whose lingering, half-present state continues to shape future development visions and practices. It defines the concept, distinguishes it from related ideas, and proposes a typology based on visibility, outcomes, and temporality.
The (online) launch of the special issue takes place on 15 June, 16:00-18:00 (CEST) and can be accessed through this link.
