This course looks from an anthropological perspective at the interrelated themes of develop-ment and globalization. We will analyse “development” as concept, discourse, and assemblage of practices, looking at their local and global effects. We will untangle how different actors—governments, supranational agencies, NGOs, multinational corporations, activists, local populations, etc.—interact and negotiate in development processes, with special attention to power asymmetries and socioeconomic inequalities. We also highlight potential and experienced gaps between intentions and outcomes of development policies and look at what anthropology can contribute to “development” debates and policy implementation. And, finally, while studying development, we also seek to grasp what globalization actually is and does—and, likewise, what it is not.
