Lecture 1
International development studies
Dimensions of development
long term societal transformation: long term analysis on what influenced society
development as guided intervention: reaching humanitarian goals through
intervention, now it’s becoming more bureaucratic with proven results
development as a discourse : language isn’t neutral, study that to see how the
world has developed
development =/= Development aid= foreign aid isn’t part of development itself, is
not considered part of development studies. Other flows are more important (eg
remissions, tax evasion…)
