COURSE TITLE: DEVELOPMENT DISCOURSE

COURSE CODE POL 673

(ELECTIVE)

____________________________________________________________

Social scientists are deeply concerned with creating a just, cohesive and humane

order. Development discourse emerged in the post second world war era with the

emergence of the Third world of developing countries. It is an interdisciplinary approach

and seeks to understand the nature, meaning, role and impact of development. From its

traditional modernization and Marxist development theories, the discourse moved on to

culture specific understanding of the developing nations. It subsequently got intertwined

with the globalization debate. World community is now stressing on globalization which

is people oriented and would promote human development. The course would try to

review the emerging theories, debates and contestations among the social scientists. The

discourse is necessary to reach some consensus relating to the goals of development, best

ways of pursuing it without endangering humanity.

(I) Development – Various connotations – Economics, Social, Political, People

oriented human development, enhancing social opportunities, growth and equality

(II) Various Theories of Development – Liberal Democratic, Marxist, Neo-Liberal,

Neo-Marxist, Third World perspective – Development Reconsidered.

(III) Development & Politics

Challenges and Crises confronting humanity.

Development dilemmas of the Third World.

Key Issues and goals of development.

(IV) Sustainable development and Environment – Community Participation
