Question 1: Defining Development

Main Question: What is "development" and how should it be understood and expressed in the global system begin by (1) clearly defining what you think development should be. This question asks for the "ideal" definition of development. Defend and explain why you believe this is the "best" definition--convince the reader of it!

Then, given this definition, (2) describe how it would be expressed in the global system. For example, what would the most important "development institutions" be (e.g. national governments, global institutions, social movements, etc.)? What would the global economy look like? You have some flexibility here, as you can choose to describe whatever part of the global system you want to describe, but whatever you choose, be sure it is key to describing this global system. For this part of the paper, you should include at least one reading or example from below that supports your view of how your definition of development would translate to the global system.

Finally, end your essay by (3) briefly commenting on any problems you foresee in this global system, either in terms of maintaining it or creating it. As this section would be rather brief (towards the conclusion), you do not need to cite readings here, but if some materials below would support your view, I highly suggest citing it simply (in a short phrase or so).

Use materials from,

1. Frank "Development of Underdevelopment"

2. Amartya Sen 1999 "Development as Freedom"

3. Evans 2002 "Collective Capabilities"

4. Escobar 1992 "post development" and label with intext citations on places used.
