Midterm review
Identification question
- 3 specific development concepts
- Significance
- Key contexts
- Main ideas/determinants
- scholas/theorists
- Specific roles played by certain development actors
How to structure:
- Macro → broader interconnections between the three concepts (overarching issues,
similarities, differences, contestations)
- Micro → specific implications of three development concepts
- NEED TO SHOW UNDERSTANDING OF HOW ALL THE CONCEPTS ARE
CONNECTED
Modernization = internal causes vs. dependency = external causes vs. neoliberalism =
Neoliberalism reduces state influence BUT dependency theory does not agree with this → state
directed development
All support industrialization → HOW/METHOD of achieving this industrialization differs
- These three theories look into economic development
