03.05.2012 | ZEF: Public Lecture "The future of development theory"

What are the transformations in the global society shaping the development of development theory? Which challenges arising from development policy does the discipline have to deal with? And what are the theoretical innovations influencing research in this field? Has development theory recovered from its crisis or is it on the decline?

The discussion will be facilitated by Aram Ziai (Senior Researcher ZEF)
