Week 3: The Neo-Liberal Turn (33 items)During the early 1980s a major shift in the development debate took place. The popularityof neo-classical economic thinking in key Northern countries resulted in the spread ofneo-liberal ideology. This had a huge impact on the politics of international development.The free-market was now seen as the key factor in development policy-making. This weekwe critically consider the elements of neoliberalism and how it informed the activities ofkey institutions.

Week 3 Seminar Details and Essential Reading (3 items)Questions for discussion: 1. How has neo-liberal economic theory informed the policy ofthe World Bank and IMF? 2. Do you agree with the 'Washington Consensus’ view ofdevelopment? 3. What criticisms have been made of the ‘Washington Consensus’?

Week 4: The Developmental State Debate (44 items)The development success story of the East-Asian Newly-Industrialising Countries (NICs)during the 1980s contrasted strongly with the experience of most of the developing world.A debate ensued as to how their success could be explained. The World Bank published avolume entitled The East Asian Miracle in 1993, which concluded that the explanation ofthe success lay in a market-friendly approach. Other adherents of the neo-liberal viewargued that East-Asian NICs had been so successful because by relying on the privatesector and free trade, they had been able to minimise government failure so common inother developing countries. An alternative view, often called the 'developmental state'approach, has suggested that the core of East-Asian success lies in enlightened policyactivism of national governments. This week we consider this debate and the role of thestate in development strategy.

Week 5: Alternatives to the 'Washington Consensus' (44 items)The dominance of neo-liberal thinking, or the 'Washington Consensus' as it became known,came under increasing attack during the 1990s.

(49 items)This week we turn our attention to world trade and in particular the 'fair trade' movement.As we have already seen the dependency approach to development argues that thesystem of international exchange, or trade, works to perpetuate underdevelopment in theGlobal South. In contrast, the Washington Consensus argues strongly in favour of tradeliberalisation as a route to development. In recent decades the 'fair trade' movement hasgrown. How much can we expect fair trade to achieve within a system of globalcapitalism? Has it become just another brand in the marketplace in recent years?

Week 7 Seminar Details and Essential Reading (2 items)2 hour lecture including 'Black Gold' film and questions for discussion: 1. By becomingmore mainstream has the fair trade movement had to compromise its original aims? 2.Can fair trade offer a genuine alternative to neoliberal globalisation?

Week 9 Seminar Details and Essential Reading (3 items)Questions for discussion: 1. What is the difference between a focus on 'women' and'gender' in relation to development? 2. How successful is gender mainstreaming as aresponse to feminist criticisms of development policy? 3. What is the relationship betweengender and neo-liberal development policies?
