- Inhalt
- The question of how to achieve progressive and desirable change in society, is one which has preoccupied social science disciplines broadly, and the field of development economics more particularly. Depending on the theory, different explanations for the process of development and its uneven state between countries and regions are given. While modernization theory presupposes a path from a more traditional to a more economically affluent society given the necessary conducive conditions, the most important one being industrialization; structuralism, on the other hand, looks at the structural aspects which impede infant industries from competing in the global market with more advanced industries. Dependency theory goes one step further in invoking the notion that resources flow from the periphery of poor and underdeveloped states to a core of wealthy countries, which leads to accumulation of wealth in the rich states and the dependency of the poor states on them. While Keynesian macroeconomic theory stresses the importance of government intervention in the national economy, neoclassical approaches are in favor of the free market, and against government intervention in those markets. Altogether, they represent early precursors of development theory.
More recent and critical approaches question the notion of development altogether and point to the importance of sustainable development to prevent compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. So-called human-centered approaches , such as the human development theory draw on a variety of schools (i.e., feminism, ecology and welfare economics) and focus a great deal on human capabilities which are defined as the things people can do and be. The course will look at all these and some other theories from a historic-chronologic lens to illustrate the way we have come to view development today. Furthermore, in this class we will discuss also the practical implications of these theories in the field of international development through looking at specific cases.
