Document Summary

Development = contested field contested in two ways because there are multiple contending, opposing ideas of what development should be and how. There isn"t a single approach or definition that everyone agrees to. ): stress and change over time of development, there are atleast two ways of explaining why development happens (modernization/dependency) At the end of the course, people can make a difference, when coming together we can create positive change to build communities there are many experiences which set very important examples. Development:: is not a netural term for it expreses power relations in society. Development not just about economic growth: often economic growth can go hand in hand with increased inequalities. Changes of how development is defined: changes and shifts from how human development is approached. This new consensus asserts that firstly, development isn"t simply rather there are great complexities, secondly, underdevelopment is an multi dimensional process and these dimensions intersect each other in particular contexts.
