1 gen 1980 anni - The modern conception of Development really had its origins in the post-war period as part of the larger strategy to thwart the expansion of communism, but also to promote the interests of the US and its allies. Prior to WWII, poverty in the Global South was not a concern of the North. During the colonial era, poverty was understood more on racial terms (Arturo Escobar).

Descrizione:

This all changed after WWII. For the first time, the destinies of the rich countries now seemed inextricably intertwined with that of the poor ones.
This, combined with expanded faith in the ability of technology and social engineering to solve humanity’s long-enduring problems like disease and malnutrition, became the foundation of the modern era of development.
Simultaneously there was a breakdown in the old colonial system and shift towards a more “Developmentalist” approach to managing tensions arising in the colonies.
