Goals of the Course

The course aims at bringing to the students the debates surrounding ‘development’ from Marxist and Postcolonial perspectives. It will do this in two ways. First, it will unpack the theories and survey the basics of these approaches, with the emphasis on their arguments on modernity, progress, history (linear or otherwise), colonialism and nationalism, empire and capitalism, among others. All of these inform the rise of the term ‘development’ in the semantic of international relations in the wake of WWII and decolonization. Furthermore, theoretical updates, new interpretations and reconsiderations of Marxism and Postcolonialism, especially those in the 21st century, will also be added on top of the basics. Second, the course will offer some debates of development concepts and practices from these theoretical viewpoints. Students will be encouraged to share ideas and experiences from their societies and/or from their researches and field studies to enrich the discussion. Overall, this can equip the students with conceptual tools to reflect on the nature of development studies, researches, and practices.
