Paper Description

Edit Paper Description Content
This paper introduces diverse perspectives of international development, including of both advanced and developing nation states. It specifically considers links between contemporary forms of international development and capitalism's neoliberal globalization. Celebratory and critical discourses on international development are compared especially in terms of themes of 'Westernisation' and 'uneven development'. Celebratory discourses treat the current neoliberal form of globalisation as progressive for nation states, while radical scholars are concerned about unstable patterns of uneven development across and within countries at very different stages of industrialization. Towards the end of the paper, we discuss both the rise of the alt. Right, and progressive alternatives that could really move the world beyond the 'neoliberal model of development'.

Workload

Edit Workload Content

Each session involves two hours contact time and about one hour reading / preparation =24 session X 3 = 72 hours
The two essays assignments are expected to take about 30 hours (15 hours reading, 15 hours writing) each 2 X 30 = 60
Preparation and undertaking take home test is expected to involve 12 hours preparation and 6 hours writing =18
This makes a total of about 150 hours, and a weekly average of 12.5 hours.

Please note that these are just rough guidelines. For example, some students who spend more
time in preparing for each session will find that they need to spend less time in the research time for assignments and take home test.
