Development Studies

  • In simplest terms, development is defined
    as the "process of change over time."
    Development scholars also define it as
    a "purposeful change in a specific direction."
  • economic growth = increasing the size of the "economic pie"
    economic justice = pertains to the equitable division of the "economic pie"
  • Countries differ in their rate of development.
    For instance, compare Philippines and Singapore.
  • According to Amartya Sen (Nobel Prize in Economics, 1998),
    "development requires the removal
    of major sources of unfreedom:
    -poverty
    -tyranny
    -poor economic opportunities
    -systematic social deprivation
    -neglect of public facilities
    -intolerance or overactivity of repressive states
