【Course Objectives】

This coursework examines the emerging Transition Discourses (TDs) in international development, with a particular focus on grassroots social innovations, cultural practices and political project in Global North and Global South. It explores systemic alternatives to neoliberal globalization.

【Course Contents】

The coursework is divided into two parts. The first part (Sessions 1 to 3) discusses the history of neoliberalism and its social, political, and ecological impacts on international development. In particular, the limits of sustainable development will be examined (Session 2). Then, Session 3 examines the recent debate on Transition Discourses as a matrix of the world beyond neoliberalism.

The second part (Sessions 4 to 12) investigates the diversity of grassroots social innovations in the Global North and Global South, with a particular focus on their contributions to inclusive development. In particular it discusses designs for economic alternatives that boost ‘just transition’, based on the grammars of social, gender, and environmental justices and ethics of care.
In principle, each class consists of a lecture, short presentations and group discussions. Students are required to read indicated reading materials in advance and prepared for in-class presentation and discussion.

At the end of coursework, it is expected that students are able to design scenarios of just transition with a set of public policies (Sessions 13 and 14).
