Overview of class

"This course discusses key ideas, theories, and actors (e.g., institutions, social movements, NGOs,
governments, etc.) that have shaped mainstream and alternative development processes and practices. It
examines the ways in which discursive, political, and economic aspects mutually reinforce power
structures that determine which people do and do not count as "developed" and which perspectives on
change become part of development processes."
