CIDE-5200 Theories of Development
Among the different approaches available to be proposed for a course on theories of development, the following have been privileged: a. development as a process of change from the economic perspective: implications and critical positions. B. The difference between economic growth and development: implications for development applied at a local level. Development, as a process determined by the conditions of production, environmental, cultural, political, and social factors, their interaction with the economic and growth dynamics along with the consequences deriving from this group of factors in determined places, and in specific historical timeframes. Theories on development differ depending on the position of the persons postulating them, their philosophical origin, and the time and place of their construction. The course aims to make explicit these positions and origins, placing them in a specific time and space, to render possible a geographic understanding of their postulates and applications.
