Syllabus for the Politics of Social Development

Syllabus for `the Politics of Social Development`
CSPA 2006 Spring Term
By Professors Inaba Miyuki, Junko Otani, Ilcheong Yi.
Course Information: The term `DEVELOPMENT` can be understood and interpreted in several distinctive ways. One is as a project of managed change in under-developed and developing countries that emerged from decolonisation and the Cold War. The process of this development is dominated by various aid agencies, international financial agencies and national states. Another involves economic, political, social, and cultural transformations spanning the colonial and post-colonial periods. A third is related to the fact that global capitalist development is now facing physical limits and consequently the conditions affecting the quality of life or living standards of the people within this globalisation process are being changed in ways which are especially dangerous to people at the economic and geographical margins. This seminar class `Politics of Social Development` aims at understanding all these approaches, their policy implications and the actual practices based on these approach. We are going to deal with a variety of issues such as socio-historical meanings of the development, current discourses on development, the role of democracy in development, cultural aspects of the development, and social policy issues related to the development within the context of the politics of development. Those students who are responsible for and affected by the consequences of development are encouraged to attend and engage in this seminar.
  1. The main text of this seminar class is Jeffrey Haynes ed. (2005) Development Studies, Palgrave Macmillan. Since this book will be used throughout the course, it is strongly recommended to have it. (It is available at the major book shops in Tenjin. If you have any difficulty in getting it, please let us know. )

  2. According to the theme we are dealing with, some complementary reading list or materials will be provided.

  3. Participants are strongly recommended to read all the materials before the class and comment on them during the class. Since the developmental projects involve continual searches for alternatives. Participants are expected to present their own critical views on the issues in question.

  4. The assessment will be conducted in two forms: oral presentation and a term report on a selected topic. Class participation will also be considered. The participant who missed more than three classes is not entitled for credit. Should you have any problem, the participant is expected to consult with Prof Yi.
Course Schedule (The schedule is tentative and subject to change depending upon the progress of the class. Articles with ** marks are not necessarily read but very useful to understanding the issues concerned. )
