12: Building trust: Development cooperation

-
Hauptschule
Seminar /
in englischer Sprache

In the so-called Millennium Development Goals the international development cooperation ambitiously aims to reduce the most dramatic forms of poverty until 2015. However, development as an idea today finds itself in a serious crisis of confidence. On the one hand the powerful and rich donor states are not keeping their promises; on the other hand the mistrust against the often very corrupt elites of the receiving countries is rapidly growing.
The frustrating experiences of the so-called „development decades“ in the past and the revolutionary approaches of post-structuralism are shattering the foundations of development theory. Post-modern and trans-rational schools of peace and development research are challenging the alleged relation between peace and modernising development. As if this were not enough, the fatal effects of modern development thought on vernacular contexts are gradually becoming evident.
This seminar will discuss this crisis of confidence in western development concepts and stress the critique of the practice of conventional development cooperation. It will show the difference between modern, post-modern and trans-rational approaches in peace and development studies and present the recent methods of elicitive conflict transformation.
