Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

The lecture will start with an overview unit in which the different forms, institutions and actors of development policy will be dealt with and different definitions will be discussed. An important element of this introduction will be the comparison of the transfer of value from South to North (tax evasion, trade policy, climate change, international division of labor, consequences of colonial exploitation, etc.) with the comparatively low level of development cooperation. This discussion is taken up again at the end and linked to current debates on the future of DC.

In the second section, the history of DC, its changing paradigms and interests (e.g. containment, SAPs, good governance, HIPC,...) and its institutionalization, e.g. in the course of multilateral treaties (e.g. Lomé and Cotonou), will be discussed.
In the third section, the practice of development policy is to be made comprehensible and analyzed. To this end, (former) "development workers" and other actors in development policy will report on their work. These spotlights on the practice of development cooperation will also include "informal" development cooperation and alternatives to development cooperation.
