CIDE-5102 Dimensions of Development
The concept of development has become one of the most controversial notions in economics, sociology, and politics in the past few decades. For some, it is simply a manifestation of Western thinking trying to impose itself on societies that are unfamiliar to its logic. To others, it is a notion that is able to guide the actions of any society towards a better future. This course offers the possibility to dwell on this concept from an interdimensional perspective that explains its complexity and provides the opportunity to reflect on its main components from the perspective of diverse societies, which may as such have very different cultural visions.
