International Development Theories Compared
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 30 ก.ค. 2024
- How do international development theories help us understand and conceptualize development? How do we define development, anyway? Here, our new host Miss E will lead you through different international development theories, from Modernization Theory, Dependency Theory, Neoliberalism, Critical theories, to the more contemporary expressions of development, such as Amartya Sen's Human Development and more recently, the UN's Sustainable Development Goals or SDGs. Which one best explains the international development situation today? Do any of them do a good job - or is development too complex of a concept to neatly fit into a single box.
Thanks again to Miss E for the exceptional job hosting this one! Hopefully you'll see more of her in future videos!

it's great that all of these were explained so well in under 8 minutes! Thank you. I would also really appreciate it if you could consider adding a few sources for further reading in the description boxes of these videos.
Great suggestion! I'll definitely try to do more of that for future videos. I do always post the sources I consult in the description. In this one, for example, there's an article by Amartya Sen that would be great for further reading, as well as the book, Orientalism by Edward Said that is referenced in the video. Walt Rostow's book, The Stages of Economic Growth is a good one for Modernization Theory. I'll definitely look at adding more recommendations for further reading moving forward if I have any.
@@KorczyksClass Thank you so much! Amartya Sen's article was great and I'm currently reading Said's Orientalism. Will also look into The Stages of Economic Growth, thank you.
I love this video. I was writing a development theory essay and this video literally saved me
That's really great to hear, Adam! Thanks for the kind words and best of luck on your essay!
I am writing an essay about the development of the global south at that period. This video help me to figure out the relative theories better. Thanks a lot!!!!!!!
Glad it was helpful! Best of luck with your essay! :)
One of the best video I have ever watched on economic development. Very concise and perfect video
Thank you for the kind words! I hope you found it helpful. :)
The problem of these theories is that they’re unscientific and more concerned with pushing their respective ideologies on reality rather starting from reality to develop a theory and predictions. Development shouldn’t be about what some people think should be based on their political affiliation but on a deeper understanding of human societies and how to work within the mechanics of society for better and humane development. Too much ideology and little substance will not help anyone and only end up with failed projects and initiatives, which what we actually see today.
Thanks for this video and congrats really! I know how these few minutes required much much reading, studying and organising.

Amartya sen human development approach is pretty good, but the things we have reason to pursue and value should also be accompanied with greater resposibily towards our planet..
Thanks for the comment! That's also something that sustainable development theory tries to address as well. :)

I think the problem with SDGs is that they're not taking into account the security issues of third-world countries. To implement even the simplest SDG, you still need state capacity with a credible government free from the fears of intrastate (civil wars) and interstate threats. That's why I think just like MDGs, SDGs are doomed to fail in the global south countries.

Which theory best describes international development? Let us know! Once again, big thanks to Miss E for doing such an excellent job hosting this one!
Try to slow down please the rush is killing me😣😣
There's no such thing as gender equality. That's what I learned in this class.
The video and explanation are perfect, but please speak a bit slower for those, like me, whose first language is not English.
Critical theory did not emerge in the 1980s. Perhaps she meant popularized, but the historiography for critical theory dates back to the 1930s with their critique of Fascism emerging in Europe.
By the way, Amarta Sen is from my city of Calcutta, once the capital of British colonial empire. ) So you see, i also have some interesting stories to tell you girl... 🙂✌
Neoliberalism W theory
