It covers the basics about the origins and evolution of development as a concept as well as its critiques, while also touching upon a variety of thematic areas central to contemporary debates in the field. The course is divided into three blocks (1) Rural development, post-colonialism, and beyond; (2) Rural transformations; (3) Politics of natural resources and the environment.\n\nTheory and discussion is oriented toward critical approaches within development studies that seek to foster debate about the idea of ‘development’ and its many manifestations, dimensions of power and politics within development processes and potential opportunities for cultivating more just, secure, and sustainable futures.\n\nUpon completion of this course, the students will be able to:\n\n- describe historical trends in theory and practice of rural development in the Global South;\n- critically engage with contemporary debates surrounding key development issues surrounding rural transformation and the politics of the environment;\n- apply theory used within contemporary discussion on rural development to analyze and investigate issues within their own area of research.","Innehåll":"The course consists of three blocks where each takes place during one week with five activities (e.g. lectures, seminars). The first block focuses on a history of ideas in our subject while the latter two expand into two key contemporary themes developed in the field.\n\n1\\. Rural development, post-colonialism, and beyond<br>\nThe first block will provide an introduction to the evolution of thinking in rural development from more \"mainstream\" approaches to critical development studies, post-colonial critiques, and beyond.\n\n2\\. Rural transformations<br>\nThe second block will explore key thematic issues relating to rural transformations including: dynamics of agrarian change in the contemporary era; changing relationships between state, society, and the market; shifts in rural livelihoods; and social vulnerability and resilience.\n\n3\\. Politics of natural resources and the environment<br>\nThe third block will examine issues relating environmental politics, including: natural resource governance and contestation, the politics of \"participation\", and continuity and change in global environmental agendas and their implications for welfare and justice of resource dependent populations.\n\nThe course is based on the knowledge and current research that takes place at the Division of Rural Development, SLU and includes interaction with many of the lecturers and researchers who do research across Asia, Africa and Latin America.","Betygsformer":"Kraven för kursens olika betygsgrader framgår av betygskriterier, som ska finnas tillgängliga senast vid kursstart.","Examinationsformer":"Examination is based on active participation in lectures and seminars and completion of a course essay (between 3500 – 4000 words) where course literature is discussed in relation to the PhD student’s own research project. \r\n- Examinatorn har, om det finns skäl och är möjligt, rätt att ge en kompletteringsuppgift till den student som inte blivit godkänd på en examination.\r\n- Om studenten har ett beslut från SLU om riktat pedagogiskt stöd på grund av funktionsnedsättning, kan examinatorn ge ett anpassat prov eller låta studenten genomföra provet på ett alternativt sätt.\r\n- Om denna kursplan läggs ned, ska SLU besluta om övergångsbestämmelser för examination av studenter, som antagits enligt denna kursplan och ännu inte blivit godkända.\r\n- För examination av självständigt arbete (examensarbete) gäller dessutom att examinatorn kan tillåta studenten att göra kompletteringar efter inlämningsdatum.
