Document Summary
Rethink the peripheries of the future; structural adjustment will fail because it ignores factor of unequal dev as the reality of capitalism, capitalism generated protestantism, critiques culturalism, focuses on unequal dev and center-periphery relations. Delinking ~ autocentric dev -> polar opposite of globalization. Delinking is a national project based on a national and popular alliance (61) Problems: so general that it can mean different things and could be self-contradictory; disadvantageous to be closed off in this era of globalization -> shift to regional integration, which is no longer counter to globalization. In this world, the only thing worse than being a part of the evolving economic hierarchy is being excluded from it (henwood 1993:8) Chap 5: the cultural turn in dev: questions of power. Culture as a way of nation-building, culture as a weapon. Gendered process: state (masculine) protects (nurtures, guides) national culture (feminine); nationalism has been a profoundly masculinist discourse (66). Marginalization and exploitation of aliens and minorities.
