Late papers accepted but graded down
(1) How does Magstadt define \”LCDs\”, \”development\” and \”development\” as an ideology? What are the \”myths and realities\” associated with development? What are its characteristics?
(2) What is Colonialism/Imperialism per the reading? What is neocolonialism?How does it influence development? (i.e., What legacy does colonialism leave behind in these countries?) Or to put it another way, what impact does this legacy (being a former colony) have on countries/former colonies that received their independence in the 19th and 20th centuries? What are the challenges that this legacy poses to political and economic development? (The answer to either question can be your thesis!). Make sure to refer to Chapter 9 (and any others, such as Chapter 18) in Magstadt.
(3) Discuss the impact of colonialism, imperialism and neocolonialism on former colonies per the films/stories. How is its legacy demonstrated in the films/interviews/lecture? Is the impact political, cultural or socioeconomic (or is it all three)?
Are the countries discussed in the films really independent or are they in a state of dependency/neocolonialism? (i.e. are they still relying on more developed countries to survive? Can they make political and economic decisions on their own? Are they really \”sovereign states\”?).
(4) What can you conclude about the legacy of colonialism and the challenges of development in developing countries? What happens when development fails? Do we see failed states? What should be done to help countries develop? What does the Rosling lectures tell us about development? (This should be your conclusion where you restate your thesis). What have you learned about development after reading the chapters and watching the films?
