Development Theory and Practice - ANTH815
This unit considers development studies from two interrelated perspectives: anthropology of development that examines theoretical approaches to development over the past 40 years and development anthropology that examines and engages in contemporary practices within development programs. Importantly it explores how these two broad paradigms both feed into changing approaches to donor-driven project implementation. Using case studies to illustrate the complexity of development processes, we consider how the World Bank and IMF operate, Australia's aid policies, debt relief, consulting agencies and NGOs, sustainable development, mobility and trafficking, development-induced displacement and changing approaches to social impact mitigation.
