Information
Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung
This seminar will focus on the newest generation of development paradigms – the so-called “alternative development strategies.” Definitions of what makes a development paradigm “alternative” are hard to come by: most are defined primarily by what they are not. Alternative development strategies typically do not adhere strictly to the prescriptions of the “Washington Consensus” – the policy prescriptions promoted during the 1990s and early 2000s by the United States government and other governments in the developed “Global North,” the World Bank (WB), and the International Monetary Fund (IMF).

Mindestanforderungen und Beurteilungsmaßstab
The bulk of the course will take place during the week of June 6th. Given the condensed nature of the course, the seminar during this week will resemble an intensive 4-day workshop, where each student will contribute substantively to the collective learning process. The highlight of the week will be an all-day conference, co-hosted by the Austrian Development Agency (ADA). Students will present their learning during this open-door conference and receive direct feedback and input from some of Austria’s pre-eminent development practitioners.The seminar will be capped at 20 students. Slots in the course will be filled on a first-come, first serve basis. Students from all university faculties are encouraged to apply. No prior knowledge of the law is necessary to join the course.
