Core Competency Statement:

This course teaches concepts and skills that have been identified as core competencies for a degree in SID:

Basic literacy in the historical and current debates on the meaning and goals of sustainable development; understanding of the existing systems (status quo) and their relation to achieving the goals of sustainable development; ability to analyze socio-economic, political, cultural, civil institutional and environmental contexts at the global and local levels and to use the analysis to support realistic sustainable change; ability to use problem-solving methodologies in seeking innovative and effective sustainable development solutions; ability to understand concepts of scarcity and distribution and to make choices among alternative solutions in order to maximize change that fosters sustainable development; recognition of the function of time and of the need to make appropriate development decisions that suit differing time frames; awareness of the interdependence of systems and of the mutuality of human and environmental conditions.

Sustainable Development Statement:

This intensive 7 week module will provide an introductory framework to explore the relation between democracy and development geared for development practitioners and policy-makers. A separate assignment will be designed for PhD students if they wish to take this course as an elective. The central question is whether democracy is absolutely essential and necessary for good, ethical, global sustainable development across cultures, nations and histories. Other questions include:

If democracy is essential for development, then what kinds of democracy (social, free-market, etc.) should be promoted in developing countries?

What are some of the major critiques of Western aid and development theory when predicated on universal ideas about secular democracy, separation of church and state, free-markets and individual and civil human rights?

How should Western models of democracy relate to alternative visions for society and government who are now active in global development (China and the post- Arab 2011 Spring Middle Eastern wealthy, theocratic countries)?

2

What are some of the debates of realists who defend the self-interests of democratic nation-states in the international order and cosmopolitans who argue for a global system of governance to tackle intractable problems of global poverty and climate change?

Do the economic interests of wealthy, powerful, industrialized nations and complicity of global economic institutions (WB, WTO, IMF) advance or hinder world poverty reduction regardless of whether functioning democracies exist within developing countries?

What are some of the differences between the American model of democracy and neoliberal economic globalization (Washington Consensus) and new, pro-poor socialist-leaning democracies in Latin America?

What happens when religion and spirituality compete with secular notions of democracy, freedom, rights and parliamentary law in decolonized contexts such as Latin America and Africa as the means and end of social and economic development?

In the final analysis is democracy a necessary and natural means or end of development or are there other ways to envision the relation between society, the state, and economy for different types of development in light of the forces of globalization, security and conflict?

The seminar is geared primarily for current and future development practitioners and researchers. However, students from other MA/MS programs are more than welcome as we will touch on concepts and themes, which may be transferred to other fields. PhD students are welcomed to take the course as an elective in the Global Health and Development PhD concentration.

Race and Ethnicity Statement:

This course examines concepts of democracy in sustainable international development. It seeks to understand patterns between basic human biological needs, environments, systems, beliefs, norms, virtues and practices while exploring different political, ethical, legal, moral and multicultural, gendered ways to experience and treat situations of extreme, global poverty and general human suffering. We will be sensitive to global diversity to contextualize an authentic dialogue on universal values vs. cultural relativism when it comes to Western and Eastern, Global North and Global South relations.

Gender Perspective Statement:

A critical dimension of human classification is gender. The course will consider how institutions, social and political-economic systems, cultural norms, ideologies, beliefs and practices influence gender roles, access to development resources, and social

transformation, empowerment and liberation in light of theories of democracy and development.

Course Requirements:

1. Attendance at all sessions.

2. Preparation of all readings.

3. Participation in class discussions.

4. Final Research paper due at the end of the semester.

5. Helpfulness to other students.

Your Grade will be calculated as follows:

Attendance and participation- 25%

For MA/MS students:

15-17 double-spaced page paper on one or more of the themes of the seminar or critical analysis of one or more of the sets of readings in the sessions. Research papers on a particular topic (child rights, environmental ethics, etc.), region or country are also welcomed in consultation with the professor. - 75%

For PhD students:

A separate assignment will be designated for PhD students who wish to take the course as an elective. If they so desire, PhD students can do a substantial research paper if they have the primary data about their region or country of interest. Empirical work in global health and development can be conducted if the student—in consultation with the professor—can demonstrate that theoretical literature in democracy and development studies will help augment the analysis. In close collaboration with the professor they will be required to put together a literature review where they can apply the theories from the class or external sources in their treatment of a specific topic, i.e. democratic accountability, gender and health outcomes in a specific country context. A second option is a theoretical paper on one or more of the primary works of a major intellectual figure such as Marx, Weber or Durkheim along with historic, secondary interpretations: the purpose is to compare and contrast major sociological concepts with those used in theories of democracy and development. This would be considered an exercise in the introduction to social theory appropriate for first and second year doctoral students in social policy schools and sociology departments in arts and sciences. The doctoral student has an option to do a shorter paper due after the first week of the last class meeting of the module or a longer research paper due at the end of the semester. – 75%

CLASS SESSIONS

Objectives:

This module explores the theoretical and practical perspectives underpinning Democracy and Development. Course readings and final research paper should consider:

(1) basic applied social-science, including sociological, anthropological, political-economic, historical or philosophical perspectives on Democracy and Development and the viability of different methods for sustainable development studies and practice.

(2) notions of ethics, human rights, justice, liberty, equality, freedom and well-being as a motivating force or destabilizing barriers to social transformation and sustainable development processes and goals on global and local scales.

Readings, written assignment, and discussions are designed to equip participants with an appreciation of the way ethics are realized as a material, social and cultural force in global and local political-economic systems to increase sustainable development. At the same time, they will provide the analytical tools and references that will allow students to compare and contrast their ideas and experiences of ethics as a factor in formal and informal institutional and social community contexts, where advancement of justice may be a force for peace-making, poverty alleviation, environmental protection, gender parity, education, literacy and sustainable development. Simultaneously we will look at complex social structures and situations that inhibit or prohibit the growth of ethics in explicit and implicit (hidden) ways along gendered, class, race and ethnic lines. The final research paper will encourage participants to explore the meaning of development from particular perspectives on Democracy and Development, including, as appropriate, institutional frameworks and theoretical agendas while exploring creative paths in the future of the Democracy and Development dialogue.

Description:

An opening session will invite participants to share their views on democracy and development questions or perspectives, or any other reasons for enrolling in this particular module.

Readings:

Each week will include assigned readings, mostly large articles, chapters and excerpts from major works, but rarely will we read a whole book or journal in its entirety.
