Course Objectives | Development is an important issue that shapes not only developed countries but also underdeveloped and developing countries and the daily life practices of their citizens. When we define development as limiting the economic meaning and increasing the welfare level of the countries, other dimensions of the concept are overlooked. The main aim of the course is to present alternative approaches to neoliberal development understanding after analyzing the close relationship between the concept of development and the capitalist system and the market. In addition, the course will focus on the example of Turkey by examining international organizations such as the IMF and the World Bank, which play an active role in determining development policies. The relationship between development and gender and environmental policies is one of the topics covered in the course. |
