Credit points: 15
Subject outline
In this subject we analyse the evolution of development theory. Central themes include growth-centred development, human development, post-development, gender and development, indigenous development, participatory development and alternative development. The development of each theory is placed in a historical perspective with the focus then moving to evaluating its contemporary influence on development theory and development practice. The subject has been designed for students doing the Master of International Development but it is relevant to other students in the social sciences, health sciences and business.
