What kind of ‘development’ is wanted for today’s world? The idea, study, and policy field of ‘development’ emerged in the 1940s, in a time of decolonization, the Cold War, and Euro-centric high modernism. Seventy years later the scene is one of new emerging economies, migration crises, multiculturalism, climate change, and new patterns of infectious and chronic diseases. Given such profound transformations, do we need, again, to rethink ‘development’?
“i applaud the fact that our bauhaus is witness to the conjunction of such opposing forces. i also appreciate the struggle of these forces against one another, as long as it results in greater achievements.”-- Paul Klee [1]
