“Development” may be seen as the key framework through which the countries of the South are understood, acted upon, and incorporated into a global political economy dominated by the North. This course will trace the historical and theoretical evolution of this developmental project, from its colonial origins to the neoliberal present, introducing students to its major debates and policy shifts, issues and actors, as well as to the resistance and re-framing the project has engendered.
