Ekspor Limbah Elektronik dari Beberapa Negara Eropa ke Ghana dalam Perspektif Imperialisme Ekologi

Abstract

Exports of e-waste from several European countries to Ghana are common. The most
impact by Ghana is the pollution of the environment which then causes the health of the
people of Ghana to be disrupted because the toxins produced by burning electronic waste
are contaminated with the environment. On the other hand, Europe exports e-waste
because it wants to create effectiveness and efficiency in e-waste management issues. This
study aims to find out why the dimension of injustice is present in the phenomenon of ewaste
exports from European countries to Ghana. The theory used to answer the problem
formulation is the theory of ecological imperialism, which was coined by Alfred Crosby.
The author uses the literature study method in collecting data from books,
journals/articles, websites, and international news. The result of this study is that the
export of e-waste from Europe to Ghana has created a dimension of injustice that has led
to European colonization of the environment by Europe to Ghana, this is due to
differences in environmental quality, economic inequality, differences in social and
cultural conditions, and implementation of regulations and inadequate policies.
