Description
This course examines the ethical questions posed by development thinking and practice. It introduces frameworks for ethical decision-making in development. Using specific examples, the course explores questions like: How are decisions about goals of development made? How are the costs of development distributed? What are acceptable methods in development activity, and who rightfully leads or engages in this activity? How far do answers to such questions differ between cultures and ideologies, and is agreement on these answers either possible or desirable?
