Abstract: Abstract To pose the question whether ICCM represents a continuing form of the colonial project is to ask questions about the nature of colonialism, with particular regard in the first instance to its knowledge systems. As Said (1978), and others, have demonstrated, the non-West has been subjected systematically to the West’s intellectual and scientific technology which has scrutinized, labelled, categorized, taxonomized, codified and ultimately invented the Other. This discursive invention provided a ground upon which all manner of material practices have been launched (and vice versa): from the scientific, administrative, anthropological and commercial practices of the colonial past, to the globalizing and multiculturalist management and trade practices of the neo-colonial present.
