Description

Introduces and analyses the emergence in the pre and post industrial world of notions of progress and development and relates them to the emergence of a modern world characterised by poverty, conflict, and socio-economic inequalities. Examines the transformation of the modern world via an analysis of different and often overlaping modes of production including hunter/gatherer, tributary (agricultural) and capitalist modes. Examines the emergence and characteristics of contemporary debates around issues of 'development', 'imperialism' and 'globalisation'.
