  <course-description>&lt;p&gt;This course will focus on certain important and current concepts in development policy and practice, and explore their background in the social sciences. We will examine the rise of discourses of development, including ideas of modernization, development and underdevelopment, and the North-South (or First-Third World) divide; relationships between people in local communities and the state; concepts of civil society and community; participation and empowerment; the rise of the framework of `social capital&amp;#39;; gender; poverty and basic needs; justice and human rights; the place of notions of indigeneity; and views of sustainability and appropriate technology in development. In examining some of the background to development concepts in the social sciences, we explore the relationships and tensions between their uses there and in forms of development, trying to identify pitfalls and positives.&lt;/p&gt;</course-description>
