This course is designed to provide students with a historical understanding of development and its antecedents of the modern world.
In this course students will examine development as a concept and practice in the era beginning around 20th century. This epoch is considered to be the heyday of ‘development thought and practice’. New thinking about social change associated with improvements in the quality of life of the less well off in the global village emerged as major contestants to Development. However, in order to properly understand these and the ways in which post- Colonial societies such as Caribbean are changing in the 21 Century, it is necessary to understand earlier thinking on the subject.
