Book Description
Seminar paper from the year 2014 in the subject Law - European and International Law, Intellectual Properties, grade: 2,3, Christian-Albrechts-University of Kiel (Walther- Schücking- Institute für Internationales Recht), course: Entwicklungsvölkerrecht, language: English, abstract: This paper offers an evaluation of the legal status of the right to development (RTD). It looks at its material content, practical implementation as well as theoretical basis of validity. (1) The RTD constitutes an ideal of balanced, purposeful development whose material essence can be summarized as follows: The right to development is a human right by virtue of which every human person and all peoples are entitled to participate in and to enjoy economic, social, cultural and political development. Development is an empowering process in which all human rights and fundamental freedoms have to be respected and can be fully realized. States have the primary responsibility for the creation of national and international conditions favorable to the realization of the right to development and the duty to co-operate with each other to this end. (2) The RTD is hence a fusion of a broad set of single values, transmuted into the complex vision of a common, human rights based development standard concerning both process and result. Taking for granted the idea of inalienable human dignity, the moral value of the RTD, concerning the essential connection of human rights and development, seems beyond question. (3) The DRD translates a moral value into a legal norm. First and foremost the RTD claims the realization of an overall empowering societal progress as an inalienable privilege for all human beings and demands the solidary assistance of all relevant actors to this end.

Development as Freedom
Author: Amartya Sen
Publisher: Anchor
ISBN: 030787429X
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 385
Book Description
By the winner of the 1988 Nobel Prize in Economics, an essential and paradigm-altering framework for understanding economic development--for both rich and poor--in the twenty-first century. Freedom, Sen argues, is both the end and most efficient means of sustaining economic life and the key to securing the general welfare of the world's entire population. Releasing the idea of individual freedom from association with any particular historical, intellectual, political, or religious tradition, Sen clearly demonstrates its current applicability and possibilities. In the new global economy, where, despite unprecedented increases in overall opulence, the contemporary world denies elementary freedoms to vast numbers--perhaps even the majority of people--he concludes, it is still possible to practically and optimistically restain a sense of social accountability. Development as Freedom is essential reading.

Book Description
Myrdal described this book as a discussion of three key notions in economic theory: the ideas of value, freedom, and collective house-keeping. It is through these concepts, he charged, that political ideology has been intro-duced into economic theory.

Theories and Practices of Development
Author: Katie Willis
Publisher: Psychology Press
ISBN: 0415300525
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 254
Book Description
Throughout the twentieth century, governments sought to achieve 'development' not only in their own countries, but also in other regions of the world; particularly in Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean. This focus on 'development' as a goal has continued into the twenty-first century, for example through the United Nations Millennium Development Targets. While development is often viewed as something very positive, it is also very important to consider the possible detrimental effects it may have on the natural environment, different social groups and on the cohesion and stability of societies. In this important book, Katie Willis investigates and places in a historical context, the development theories behind contemporary debates such as globalization and transnationalism. The main definitions of 'development' and 'development theory' are outlined with a description and explanation of how approaches have changed over time. The differing explanations of inequalities in development, both spatially and socially, and the reasoning behind different development policies are also considered. By drawing on pre-twentieth century European development theories and examining current policies in Europe and the USA, the book not only stresses commonalities in development theorizing over time and space, but also the importance of context in theory construction. This topical book provides an ideal introduction to development theories for students in geography, development studies, area studies, anthropology and sociology. It contains student-friendly features, including boxed case studies with examples, definitions, summary sections, suggestions for further reading, discussion questions and website information.
