Development emerged as an area of study in the 20th century. It focuses on addressing the issue of how to improve global conditions. It also tackles questions such as:
- What is development?
- Is development a relative concept?
- How do we achieve development?
- Is development a weapon of imperialism?
Obviously, development is a very broad topic with incredible nuance; to make it simpler to understand, I’ve decided to break it down into the different topic areas that I’ve learnt about so far, along with some explanation of key concepts and events in the field.
