Language: English
Session Type: Oral
This open session seeks to contribute to understanding development broadly defined. This will include all possible ways of exploring the meaning of development as experienced in the developing countries through grassroots initiatives by local actors and conceptual/discursive formulations emanating from regional/local sources of scholarly entities including universities, research organizations, NGOs, etc. Papers focusing on how these understandings are shaped by the local-global interactions of structures and processes will be particularly welcome. Papers may be conceptual, empirical, or both offering critical assessment of conventional knowledge about development and new conceptualization.
