The Intellectual History of Development - Towards a Widening Potential Repertoire
- 2009
-
Reports (other academic/artistic)abstract
- The article outlines the post-World War intellectual history of development. In connection to this three basic arguments are brought to the fore. First, that there has been an enrichment of development thinking during the last fifty years or so, and that the notion of development has evolved during this time from something fairly simplistic to something much more complex. Secondly, that an epistemic consequence of this enrichment is that the potential repertoire – i.e. the backcloth of knowledge and experiences that are available at a certain moment in history and in a certain location - has been widening over time. Thirdly, that the agents of development and the levels of development analysis have multiplied. In the beginning of the period the nation-state was viewed as the self-evident unit of analysis and agent of development. Due to globalization this is no longer the case. In all the paper argues that this extension of knowledge, theories and perspectives constitutes a considerable challenge to contemporary students and learners interested in development issues.
