Introduction

Theories and Issues in International Development

(TIID) is the core module of the MA/Diploma in

Globalisation and Development. The module is also

available as an optional unit of the MA/Diploma in

International Relations, International Political

Economy and Politics. Module seminars run across

the Autumn and Spring Terms, from October to

March, and the final assessment exercise is submitted

in May.

Within the broad field of ‘social science’ development has been the concern of

economists, political scientists, sociologists and lawyers for many decades now. As practice, development agencies and institutions have sought to impose some

discipline on this ever-expanding area of research by focusing on economic growth,

sustainability or capability enhancement. Globalisation has fundamentally altered the

context of development and we need to understand it how and in what ways this

new context poses challenges for development. One of the ways in which

globalisation and development are speaking to each other is through the

reconstitution of governance mechanisms and processes, which are then provoking

new theoretical debates, research trajectories and development agendas.

This module explores both ‘theories’ and ‘issues’ relating to globalisation,

governance and development. By examining ‘theories’ we explore the ways that

knowledge is constructed. What assumptions do we make? What concepts do we

employ? What explanations do we propose? What normative judgements do we

make?

By examining ‘issues’, this module considers some of the prominent substantive

items on the policy agenda of development institutions and agencies, as well as other

civil society actors. Whether and how do processes of globalisation transform,

undermine or reinforce existing patterns of inequality and injustice? Is the traditional

organisation of political life and the work of key development agencies still relevant

in a context of globalisation? What new configurations of power have emerged in a

globalised society? Are countries of the South able to respond and take advantage of

these new configurations?

Theoretical work and empirical work are not separate exercises. Practical problems

stimulate theory construction, and theories inform the ways that we handle

substantive issues. Theory that lacks bearing on practice is irrelevant. Action that

lacks theoretical clarity and coherence is confused and ineffective.

No study of globalisation, governance and development can be comprehensive or

uncontested. Although we will examine the major approaches and problems, our coverage cannot be exhaustive. Nor is the selection and treatment of theories and

issues ‘unbiased’. It reflects the state of the field at the present time, the specific

analysis and preferences of the module tutor as well as of the students, whose work

3

is central to the delivery of the module. However, we hope this module will give you

a sound basis for further study, including work that could explore alternative

approaches and different problems. we also hope that the discussions in class will be

respectful of differences, thus enabling all to participate and to feel comfortable in so

doing.

Aims and Learning Objectives

The aims and learning objectives of this module reflect and reinforce the aims and

learning objectives of the overall Warwick MA/Diploma in Globalisation and

Development.

‘Aims’ are the broad gains that you should achieve in your studies. Meanwhile ‘learning objectives’ are the more precise attainments that are delivered through

specified teaching and learning activities and assessed through specified exercises.

Aims

TIID module has three aims:

to explore definitions, measurements, chronologies and explanations of development and globalisation;

to assess the implications of development and globalisation for the workings

of governance at both international and national levels;

to evaluate policy alternatives in respect of key problems of development and

globalisation.

Learning Objectives

Again in keeping with the learning objectives of the MA/Diploma overall, by the end

of the core module students should be able:

to evaluate contending accounts of globalisation;

to assess relations of structure and agency in the politics of social change;

to draw links between academic political analysis and policy practice;

to use the Internet as a tool in political communication and policy evaluation;

to develop sophisticated arguments in written form.

Remember: the achievement of these aims and learning objectives depends not

only on effective teaching by staff, but also on your efforts to take full advantage of

the learning opportunities that the module offers.

Learning Methods and Materials

Questions

Learning in this module centres on the exploration of questions. Each weekly topic is

examined in relation to one or two questions, which are specified at the top of the

relevant entry in the week-by-week outline. Careful, critical, creative consideration

of these questions will allow you to achieve the principal analytical learning

objectives of the module.

Reading

In terms of time spent, most of your weekly learning will take place through

independent reading. Each entry in the week-by-week outline specifies the core

reading that is relevant to the question(s) for the topic at hand. Supplementary

literature is listed by topic in the final part of the module outline. You should always

cover the core reading that is listed for a given week. Not only has this literature

been selected as especially helpful, but it is also important that everyone comes to

seminars with some common reading to discuss.

In addition to the core reading, you are encouraged to consult some of the

supplementary readings listed for each week. Moreover, feel free to range wider still

by roaming the library shelves and browsing data bases for further books and

articles. It is essential to do additional reading if you are preparing an oral

presentation or an essay on a given topic.

Needless to say, engage in critical reading. ‘Taking notes’ means more than simply

underlining or copying out passages. Reflect on and react to what an author is saying.

Also, approach your reading with the weekly questions in mind. Do not read a piece

for its own sake, but extract the information and ideas that you need to construct a

response to the module question at hand.

Web Research

Websites can provide us with the latest information on particular issues. Useful

documents are available on many sites and can be useful resources. Like any other

medium, the quality of websites varies – some are excellent in providing not only

information but also analysis. Others are rather poor. When selecting material from

the internet, make certain that it is of a high standard – if your sources are of a low

quality, your essay is likely to reflect this. A range of useful web links may be found

on the GGD module website to get you started with web research.

Note: Wikipedia might be a first port of call for many, but it is not a good academic source – do not rely on this website for your research!

Material cited from any website should be properly referenced by giving the full web-

address and where available the name of the author, date of publication and the page

5

number(s). Make sure that you reference web-based material as fully as books.

You will find tips on how to do this in the PaIS Postgraduate Handbook (accessible

here: http://www2.warwick.ac.uk/fac/soc/pais/currentstudents/) and on the module

website.

Seminars

Seminar Times: Tuesday 10am – 12 noon – Rm. H3.58

1pm – 3pm – Rm. H5.45

Friday – 2pm – 4pm – Rm. S1.14

Your main interactive learning will take place in a weekly two-hour seminar

convened by your Module Tutor. You may wish also to meet with other students

informally for additional group discussions, without your tutor; any such

supplementary arrangements are up to you. I would also encourage you to form an

e-mail discussion group for the class. The purpose of this group is to share

information and ideas about the issues raised in class on a more informal basis.

Each seminar treats the relevant week’s topic. Needless to say, come to seminars

ready to contribute. Do ample preparatory reading and thinking. Seminars are about

active participation. Successful learning depends on your input.

Every seminar will have a ‘mini-lecture’ by the Module Tutor which will introduce

the seminar topic, the main problems that it raises, the principal authors and literature that has addressed the question, and so on. The tutor thereby draws

together your readings and sets the scene for seminar discussions.

Seminars may adopt different learning strategies. In some cases, for example, a

previously identified student may give an individual oral presentation in response to

one of the week’s questions. Alternatively, a subgroup within the seminar may

present a jointly prepared presentation. Or the seminar may be split into several

subgroups that debate a question from different perspectives. Or students may

report back to the group on certain sources for material on that week’s topic. We

also might stage a debate with students taking a position on a particular topic and

attempting to persuade the others of their stance, or a problem solving exercise

associated with the topic.

From the above it should be clear that, apart from the mini-lecture, the Module

Tutor will not spoon-feed you ready-made knowledge. The tutor’s role is to

facilitate student presentations, discussions and other learning activities.

Other Consultations with Tutors

The seminar is your designated time for a weekly group meeting with your Module

Tutor. In addition, we have at least two office hours each week (posted in the

‘Contact Details’ section of the module website) when you may consult us

6

individually concerning topics, readings, essays or other learning concerns. We may

also be able to schedule appointments outside of these office hours if those times

are not convenient for you. You can also contact us by e-mail with any questions and

queries you may have.

Do not hesitate to see your Module Tutor, your Personal Tutor or the Programme

Director if you are experiencing academic or other difficulties with your studies.

Our rigorous admissions procedures mean that everyone who gets a place is in

principle capable of successfully completing the course. On the other hand, students

come from a variety of disciplinary and cultural backgrounds, and many people may

find it helpful to seek supplementary advice from tutors as they adjust to their

studies at Warwick.

Warwick Global Development Society (WGDS)

In addition to your seminar work, TIID offers you the opportunity

to explore issues and theories of development through the work of

the Warwick Global Development Society (WGDS). WGDS was

established in 2002 by students enrolled on the Globalisation,

Governance and Development module.

WGDS has been established primarily as a forum for debate and

exchange of ideas for anyone with an interest in the Development field. It aims to

further understanding and awareness of development theory and practice through a

programme of talks and events covering a wide variety of issues, from global

governance, to the role of TNCs, to the gendered dimensions of development.

Importantly, the WGDS is student-led. At the beginning of the module an election

for President of the WGDS and WGDS Newsletter Editor will be held. It will be the

reponsibility of these office holders to coordinate the activities of the society

throughout the year. All TIID students are expected to participate in the

activities of the WGDS, so be prepared, for example, to write articles for the

Newsletter and to participate in the WGDS Seminar Programme.

Please visit the society website on for more information:

http://www2.warwick.ac.uk/fac/soc/PaIS/staff/rai/teaching/po901/wgds/

Assessment (Ours of You)

The principal mode of assessment in the core module – namely, essay writing – is at

the same time also a mode of learning. The preparation of papers is an excellent way

to consolidate your understanding of a subject.

http://www2.warwick.ac.uk/fac/soc/pais/staff/rai/teaching/po901/wgds/

For students who take this module as their core module

Each student will submit three items of assessment for this module: one short essay

of 2000-2500 words; one policy paper of 2000 words; and one research essay of 5000 words.

The short essay will address a metatheoretical question from the material

covered in weeks 2–5.

The policy paper will require you to address a particular developmental issue,

related to the topics covered between weeks 7 and 15, within a specific

theoretical framework.

The 5000 word research essay will (drawing on theory) address some aspect of the issues covered during th module.

The timed essay and policy paper together account for 50 per cent of the module

grade. The long essay accounts for the other 50 per cent. The policy paper has

double the weight of the timed essay. So the formal assessment of the module

breaks down as: short essay 16.7 per cent; policy paper 33.3 per cent; and long essay

50 per cent. In this way the assessments attract progressively more weight as you

become more acquainted with the module material and the British/Warwick/PaIS

approach to teaching and learning.

Both the short essay and the policy paper should draw on relevant module material

and must include an abstract and a bibliography as described in the PaIS Postgraduate

Handbook. Late submissions are not accepted (but see the Postgraduate Handbook

for rules regarding extensions). A compulsory workshop on writing policy

papers will be convened at the end of Term 1 (see the PaIS Postgraduate

Handbook for the precise date and time).

The long essay should involve considerable independent research, going well beyond

assigned readings and seminar work, and analysis should be theoretically informed. A list of pre-approved titles will be made available on the module tutor’s webpage

within the first few weeks of the module commencing. You are free to choose to

write your essays based on any of these titles. However, the titles are only indicative

and you may also negotiate a separate title with your tutor. Whether you choose a

title from the pre-approved list, or negotiate a title with your tutor, please

remember that you must ask your module tutor to sign a submission title form and

submit it to the Graduate Office by the deadline listed in the PAIS Postgraduate

Handbook. The essay must be 5000 words in length and typed with double spacing.

It must include an abstract and a bibliography as described in the Postgraduate

Handbook.

All pieces of written work must include an Abstract of no more than 150 words.

This will not be counted towards the total word count.

Consult your Handbook for the full rules and regulations governing

assessments. Take particular note of the rules regarding plagiarism. Also consult

your Handbook for guidance on writing essays and the criteria that staff use in

evaluating your assessed work.

8

For students who take this module as an option

Formal assessment of TIID occurs by means of two 5000-word essays for students

who take it as an optional module in another PAIS MA programme. Each essay

counts for 50 per cent of the final assessment.

The long essay should involve considerable independent research, going well beyond

assigned readings and seminar work, and analysis should be theoretically informed.

A list of pre-approved titles will be made available on the module tutor’s webpage

within the first few weeks of the module commencing. You are free to choose to

write your essays based on any of these titles. However, the titles are only indicative

and you may also negotiate a separate title with your tutor. Whether you choose a

title from the pre-approved list, or negotiate a title with your tutor, please

remember that you must ask your module tutor to sign a submission title form and

submit it to the Graduate Office by the deadline listed in the PAIS Postgraduate

Handbook. The essay must be 5000 words or less in length and typed with double

spacing. It must include an abstract and a bibliography as described in the

Postgraduate Handbook.

All pieces of written work must include an Abstract of no more than 150 words.

This will not be counted towards the total word count.

Consult your Handbook for the full rules and regulations governing

assessments. Take particular note of the rules regarding plagiarism. Also consult

your Postgraduate Handbook for guidance on writing essays and the criteria that staff use

in evaluating your assessed work.

Essay Titles

For your long research essays, you may either choose one of the pre-approved

topics will be made available on the module tutor’s webpage within the first few

weeks of the module commencing, or you may propose a topic on an area of

interest to you (in which case the pre-approved titles may serve as a useful model for formulating your own topic). If you choose to formulate your own topic (which

must be in ‘journal article’ format), make certain to consult closely and in good time

with your module tutor. Proposed titles for the long essay must be submitted to

PAIS Graduate Office by the published deadline. These topics must then be approved

by the Director of the MA/Diploma in Globalisation and Development and the

External Examiner.

For information on referencing, plagiarism, and penalties regarding late

submission of assessed work please see the Postgraduate Handbook.

Schedule of Topics

This core module explores the global dimension of contemporary governance and

development. There are three strands to the syllabus of the module. The first

addresses the definitions and theoretical underpinnings of development, followed by

a selection of relevant topics, such as structural adjustment, poverty, the

environment, social capital and debt. The second addresses theories of globalisation,

followed by seminars on corporate power, labour, gender and biotechnology. And

the third section of the module focuses on theories of global governance, followed

by discussions on the nation-state, international institutions, civil society and human

rights.

Week-by-Week Outline

In the rest of this module document we elaborate your programme of study on a

week-by-week basis. Each week’s entry has three parts. First, it briefly describes the

general topic of the week. Second, the entry specifies the study question(s) for the

week. Third, the entry gives the bibliographical details for that week’s required

reading.

This module is not based on a textbook. We prefer to expose you to a wider range

of authors and writings. Students who wish to purchase textbooks for general

reference can find a selection in the University Book Shop. The principal suggestions

for purchases are:

Vandana Desai and Robert B. Potter, 2008, The Companion to Development Studies.

However, it is important that you rely in the first place on the core reading specified

in the week-by-week schedule below. This week-by-week outline only specifies

several core readings for each question. Needless to say, the bibliography presented

there is far from exhaustive, and you are encouraged to discover and consult as wide

a range of literature as you find interesting and useful.

Subject to legal and operational requirements, copies of all core readings are

available either in the Library Short Loan Collection (SLC), Learning Grid or online.

If a core reading is not available in this manner, you should consult the Subject Librarian and your module tutor.

AUTUMN TERM

Week 1: Introduction to the module and the year ahead

The first seminar is devoted to a discussion of the aims and learning objectives of the

module; the schedule of topics; the learning methods and materials; the assessment

exercises; your evaluation of the module; and use of the week-by-week outline. We

will also organise the seminar schedule for the term. In short, students should

emerge from the first session with a clear idea of the nature, purpose and

procedures of the module – and thus be ready to tackle the substance of our work.

As part of our discussion we will also introduce the three key terms that form the

basis of this module: globalisation, governance and development. What do we mean

by each of these when we use it in common parlance? Why do we use the term the

way we do? What can we infer about the political assumptions underlying linguistic

usage?

A few short writings on globalisation and development are given below to get you

started. Time before our first seminar will be short, but try to read at least two of

the four selections.

Week 2: Development Theory I – Modernisation and Dependency

Theories

Modernisation and Dependency theories have

framed debates on development during the

twentieth century. Developed in the context of the

Cold War, modernisation theory focused on the

political and economic conditions necessary for

economic growth in developing countries.

Modernisation analyses of political economy and

development have elicited a critical response. These

can be examined through studying what came to be

called in the 1970s Dependency theories. These were neo-marxist analyses of the

causes of ‘underdevelopment’ by examining the peripheralisation of postcolonial

states in an expanding capitalist world system. These theories were eclipsed during

the 1980s and 1990s but have made a comeback in Development Theory since then.

Questions:

(1) What would a development strategy based on modernisation theory look like?

How would you evaluate such a strategy?

(2) Make a critical assessment of dependency theory as a framework for

development.

Week 3: Development Theory II – Critical Approaches

In the 1980s, further critiques of classical political

economy resulted in a bundle of theoretical

perspectives which are called critical development.

These include postdevelopment, feminism and

development sustainability. These theories engaged

both with the form of capitalism that had developed

in the postcolonial context, challenged the meaning

of development itself.

Questions:

(1) Is postdevelopment a persuasive framework for the study of development under

globalisation?

(2) How does engendering macro-economic policy transform our understanding of

globalisation and development?

Almost no accounts of the processes of globalisation

claim that poverty is being substantially reduced

through the expansion of capitalist production.

However, accounts differ radically on whether the

nature of these processes is such that in the long

term impoverishment of people will be reversed.

Definitions of poverty – capability deprivation,

exploitation of surplus labour, (non)sustainable

development, food security – also affect the way in

which we analyse the impact of globalisation on people’s livelihoods.

Questions:

(1) To what extent can proposals of the international development community to

alleviate poverty be considered as effective policy instruments?

(2) ‘…poverty must be seen as the deprivation of basic capabilities rather than

merely as lowness of incomes, which is the standard criterion of identification of

poverty’ (Amartya Sen). Discuss.

Week 5: Debt and Development: From Third World to Global South

As external debt of developing countries has increased exponentially over the past

twenty years, debt has now become a global problem. For most developing

countries, interest payments are so high that social and anti-poverty spending is

severely restricted. From the early responses to the Latin American debt crisis at

the start of the 1980s, the international policy approach to debt was primarily

multilateral. In the late 1990s, the World Bank developed the Highly Indebted Poor

Countries (HIPC) initiative in order to cancel debt of the poorest countries in

exchange for a structural reform package. This week we will start by considering the

origins and main problems of international debt. We will then evaluate some of the

key points of view and policies in the international debt debate.

Questions: (1) Would unconditional debt relief reward irresponsible or corrupt southern

governments at the expense of responsible ones?

(2) How effective are policy initiatives such as the World Bank’s HIPC programme?

Week 6: Reading Week – No Seminars

Week 7: From Structural Adjustment Programmes (SAPs) to Poverty

Reduction Strategy Papers (PRSPs): Old Wine in New Bottles?

This week we will reflect upon how issues of poverty and social development were

addressed within the framework of neoliberal economic policy of the 1980s. What

assumptions are being made by institutions, such as the World Bank and the IMF,

about the role of the state, of private economic actors, and of civil society and non-

governmental organisations. One area where these assumptions have led to specific

policy outcomes is that of ‘structural adjustment policies’ or SAPs in their various

forms.

Questions: (1) Critically assess the impact of economic policies of restructuring on

development in Africa.

(2) Make a case for and against Poverty Reduction Strategy Papers as strategies for

addressing poverty alleviation.

Week 8: Restructuring Gender Relations

What do we understand by gender relations? How

are shifts in macro-economic policies gendered and

how are these resulting in changing gender relations

within the family as a unit of cultural and economic

reproduction? How are women and men

responding to these changes? What do we

understand by production and reproduction? How

do we count what is work and how is this reflected

in economic policy? Are gender relations

fundamental to understanding strategies of development?

Questions:

(1) Discuss the concept of social reproduction and whether/how it expands our understanding of development.

(2) How is prostitution contributing to globalisation and how is globalisation

changing the nature of prostitution?

The relationship between globalisation and natural resource use patterns is mediated

by policies, institutions and processes from the local to the global level. Are the

pressures of globalisation and the inability or reluctance of national states to

regulate, leading to rapid ecological degradation? Are institutions of global

governance able to address the issue of ecological degradation or are they

contributing to the problem?

Questions:

(1) Assess whether global biodiversity can be maintained in the context of

globalisation of trade and its regulation by the WTO. Can market

environmentalism be said to offer a viable framework within which to manage

the ecosystem?

(2) Is the environmental movement a success story of global civic action?

Although it sometimes seems that there are as many definitions of globalisation as

globalisation theorists, the problems and realities of increased interconnectedness

cannot be ignored in development studies. The key puzzle here is whether

globalisation is eroding state sovereignty, and if so, what alternative modes of regulatory authority are being developed. Within the globalisation and/as

development debate, there is also a continuing controversy is whether globalisation

promotes economic growth and social development, or whether globalisation in fact

reinforces existing inequalities.

Question:

(1) How can we think about the relationship between development and

globalisation?

SPRING TERM


If transnational corporations (TNCs) are now key

actors in the globalisation process, what are the

implications of their presence in developing

countries? Firstly, there is no conclusive answer to

the question whether foreign direct investment

(FDI) and TNCs are a good thing for developing countries. Attracting FDI and TNCs is nevertheless

a crucial development strategy for developing

countries. Secondly, the globalisation of production

has led to increasing vertical and horizontal

integration of production processes across borders.

This process can be said to result in ‘global

production chains’, in which wages, working

conditions, the social and environmental dimensions

of production are linked across borders.

Questions:

(1) Evaluate the role of TNCs in developing

countries today.

(2) What are the political and social implications of global division of labour? Discuss

with reference to the global production chains debate.

How has globalisation changed the nature of work? As states come under pressure

to attract FDI, is the state able to protect workers’ rights? What is the impact of

global movement in commodities and people? What are the consequences of

and the working class is locked into the global economy, is a global labour movement

still conceivable? These are some of the questions that we will consider this week.

under globalisation?

(2) Can global regulation of labour rights and standards improve the functioning of

national labour legislation?

Week 13: The Global Food System

Profound changes have taken place in the organisation of the global food system

since the end of the Second World War. Throughout the core capitalist world there

has been a shift from medium sized family farms to systems of production dominated

by large agricultural corporations. The industrialisation of food production has led to massive declines in prices of key products and transformed diets across Europe and

North American. These changes have, in turn, transformed the nature of cross-

continental food chains and had a major impact on national food systems in the

developing world. The objective of this session is to explore problems associated

with global restructuring of food systems for people in the Global North and South.

Question:

(1) What social, economic and moral problems are presented by the

commodification of food?

(2) Analyse the forces behind and problems generated by the increased consumption

of meat as an indicator of development and prosperity.

Social capital has been called the non-material glue that holds society together. Social

capital includes social networks, value systems and relationships between individuals

and groups. Both marxist (Bourdieu) and pluralist (Putnam) social theorists have

development this concept to draw upon material and symbolic capital that

contributes to the cohering of societies. Development theorists and practitioners

have used this concept to define development interventions as well as the evaluate

them.

Question: (1) Is social capital a useful concept for understanding development or is it a

disciplinary framework for governance?

If globalisation challenges old patterns of political authority and economic

organisation, what are the new forms of governance taking shape in a globalising

world? Governance is being used to convey the regulation of a multi-layered set of

institutions – from the local to the global. Economic organisation as well as political

decision-making are addressed through this concept. ‘Good governance’ has become

both a normative and an economic conception of regulation through conditionalities

imposed via structural adjustment.

Questions:

(1) Assess whether the concept of governance provides us with a better

explanatory framework than that of the state within which to understand

development under globalisation.

The nation state has come under increasing scrutiny as focus has shifted to

globalization of the world economy. A growing liberature suggests that globalisation

and the marginalisation of the state go hand in hand. Critics of this literature,

however, assert that the state is a participant actor in globalisation and repositions

itself to maximise its advantage as global political economy changes shape. Issues of

state sovereignty are at the heart of this heated debate.

Question:

(1) Is the state becoming powerless under globalisation? If so, what implications

does this have for the governance of development?

Global institutions, and especially international

financial institutions such as the IMF and the World

Bank, play a key role in shaping policies and policy

option of developing countries. Although these

institutions have moved on from the structural

adjustment programmes of the 1980s to the

Washington Consensus and the post-Washington

Consensus in the 1990s, some argue that these

programmes are essentially the same and others

argue that substantial policy changes have been made.

Questions:

(1) Make a case for and against the World Bank and the IMF as institutions of global

governance advocating and implementing neo-liberal policies. (2) How convincing are McMicheal’s arguments about the world-historical context

out of which the WTO emerged and the role of the WTO in securing global

market rule?

Can alternatives to capitalist globalisation be

explored through exploring the ideas of democracy

and human rights? Some scholars such as Sklair have

argued that both democracy and human rights need

rescuing from the individualised politico-civil

culture-ideology, and to be placed within an

alternative global discourse of socio-economic

democratic human rights. Others have questioned

the idea of human rights itself in the context of

globalisation. Can we harness the power of the

ideas represented (however imperfectly) by the

political formulations of democracy and human

rights in the interests of an alternative development

and governance regime? We will also discuss a case

study on the role of civil society organisations in the

human rights regime (see supplementary readings for further bibliography).

Questions:

(1) How effective is the discourse of human rights in resisting the negative

consequences of globalisation?

(2) Evaluate the role of civil society organisations in the promotion of human rights.

Week 20: Global Futures Symposium: A Day-long Workshop on

Challenges for Development and Governance

After examining the various aspects of globalisation, governance and development

from different theoretical perspectives, what do we (individually and collectively)

understand by these terms? What are the challenges facing the discipline of

development in the context of globalisation? How do we understand the structure-

agency problem in this context? What are the alternatives that we see as viable as

well as feasible to the further extension of global capitalism? At the end of the

module we will reflect upon some of these questions.

This will be done in the form of a symposium where the experiences of particular

countries will form the basis of an analysis of globalisation (see

http://www.sunion.warwick.ac.uk/socs/su338/ for more). The WGDS President will

take the lead in organising this with a team of students. All students on GGD will

participate.

Question:

(1) How have alternative envisionings of development under globalisation altered the relations between states, markets and civil society?
