◆DEVELOPMENT SOCIOLOGY － （後）

| ○講義概要 |
In many ways the contemporary world is in a mess: problems of poverty, pollution, resource depletion, social inequality and conflict continue to plague large sectors of the globe despite decades of so-called 'development'. This course will discuss the nature of the major global issues at the present moment, how we got into these problems and where we might go from here. It will take a sociological and cultural perspective and will discuss theoretical approaches to the development crisis, will stress the often neglected cultural factors in development and the nature of social institutions as they relate to (by promoting or retarding) social transformation, and will attempt to equip you with the analytical tools for understanding the contemporary world system. The course will be comparative in nature, but particular attention will be paid to Asian and Latin American examples from which much of the case material will be drawn.

Assessment will be centred on the creation of a file over the semester which will contain the project work that you will be carrying out throughout the course. The course will be highly interactive, teaching will be based on case-studies, in-class debates and your own research and a high level of participation is required. Class attendance is mandatory. Attendance constitutes 10% of assessment, your final project 40% and each of the small project papers 50% each.

What are the priorities (and what are the secondary issues)? How might we best approach them? Does the nature of sociology need to be revised to take account of the structural and the existential realities implicit in development. Is there such a thing as development at all, or does this too need redefinition? |
