The course “Financialisation of development” aims to provide a historical and contemporary perspective on the politics of development that co-constitutes the global financial architecture. By carefully studying the various manifestations of the term financialisation, the course aims to connect macroeconomic structural changes with the everyday lives of the marginalized and working class people from a feminist heterodox economics framework. The topics covered in the course will address the causes and consequences of the crisis in social reproduction (i.e access to healthcare, education, housing, water and food), the interlinkages between macro and microeconomics of the debt crisis and finally, the counter actions by various local organizations and communities in averting this crisis. Throughout the module, we will use empirical case studies and a combination of qualitative and quantitative methods to illustrate this finance-development nexus. |
