Cíle předmětu
Cílem kurzu je uvedení do sociálně vědeckých teorií rozvojových studií, skrze multidisciplinární přístup, který umožňuje kritickou analýzu jednotlivých problematik rozvoje. Důraz je kladen na kritické chápání rozvoje jako konkrétního v historii zapuštěného projektu a jako politických, ekonomických a kulturních praktik v kontextu pozdní modernity. Kurz nabízí nejenom zevrubné seznámení s makro přístupy inspirovanými zejména ekonomickými teoriemi, ale i stále vlivnější mikro-přístupy generované v kontextu přístupech zaměřených na člověka, kódovaných jako přístup základních potřeb a nejnověji reformulovaných do přístupu základních práva a oprávnění. Dále je pozornost věnována sektorálním analýzám, jako přístup ke zdravotní péči, dostupnost vzdělání, redukce chudoby. Mimo kritiku ekonomického redukcionismu je nabídnuta kulturologická kritika rozvoje v kontextu post-koloniálních studií, sub-altern a gender studií. Základní schéma implementace rozvoje – projektový management je kriticky nahlížen v kontextu nejnovějších možností generovaných v teoriích dynamických systémů, který integruje do implementačních schémat akceptaci neinstitucionální ekonomie jako mainstreamového přístupu k ekonomickému rozvoji.
Osnova
  • The course deals critically with concept of developoment as global thinking and practice replicated and reinvented in contemporary world of high modernity. Key concepts of development thinking and practice, e.g. logic of authorative intervention, claims on definition of reality, classification of the socially constructed other as well as notion of power with which development is intrinsically connected, are dealt with. Postmodern encounters with development are then presented resulting in post-development rejection of the whole notion of development on the one hand and historical analysis in the form of new historicism on the other. Following the latter line of argument, the sequence of projects of colonialism and modernity is described culminating in the project of development thus understood as the extension of project of modernity to the then colonized other. The whole concept of development takes on a new form under current project of globalization as the deepening of the global problems makes issues of development relevant regardless of the North-South divide. Then, the practices of development are under close scrutiny, with the current trend of managerism as its most salient characteristics, generating in turn a strong response in anti-managerism approaches. The project cycle management with its logical framework analysis as the main methodology is challenged through the first-hand narratives of development experts with the devastating effect on the ennobled construction of ´local knowledge´. Practitioners stress that ´local knowledge´ is constructed in response to the development intervention, thus making it a prime candidate for science and technology studies analysis. Preponderance of linear thinking in development together with unflexible mental modeĺs of both development theorists as well as pracititioners paves the way for search of new impulses and alternatives in development thinking. Consequently, as the forth trend, the complex system theory is assessed both as a theoretical stimulus to development conceptualization as well as model building. Cautious conclusions are drawn as to the potential of complex system modelling, which at best could subsitute the current logical framework analysis. However, even this improvement does not solve deep controversies which develpoment is riddled with. In the last chapter, the potential for metamorphosis of dispositiv development´s spine cord knowledge, economics, is looked into via contributions of the new institutional economics.1) Projects of colonialism, modernity, development and globalization; The Birth of the Discourses – modern institutions and narrative spaces, systems of classification.
