EADI Roundtable: Colonial Legacies and Development Studies: Contesting Discourses and Narratives

28 June 2018, 11 am, Development Studies Association Conference 2018, Manchester.

How a historiography of Development Studies can provide starting points for a decolonization of development knowledge? How scholarly commitment to emancipatory knowledge production and practice can best challenge defamatory populism and counter racist narratives in the popular debate? Uma Kothari (University of Manchester), Olivia U. Rutazibwa (University of Portsmouth) and Nivi Manchanda (Queen Mary University of London) are debating necessary challenges to assumptions underlying the field of Development Studies. The discussion is chaired by EADI President Henning Melber.

Humanitarian Policy group Working Paper: The New Humanitarian Basics (New June Content)
2018/05 – Overseas Development Institute (ODI); HPG series ‘Constructive Deconstruction: Imagining Alternative Humanitarian Action’.; Author(s): Marc DuBois
 
Critical analysis of the international humanitarian aid system has arrived at the conclusion that it is time to let go of power; it is time to rethink humanitarian crisis response and allow a transformation it has simultaneously coveted and stifled. But if not the present system, then what? And how do we get from here to there? This paper confronts these questions as part of HPG’s research project on ‘Constructive Deconstruction: Rethinking the Humanitarian Architecture’.
Access to Environmental Information: A Driver of Accountable Governance in Morocco and Tunisia?
2018/05 – German Development Institute, Deutsches Institut für Entwicklungspolitik (DIE); Briefing Paper 10/2018; Author(s): Annabelle Houdret et al.
 
In Tunisia, Morocco and other North African countries, environmental problems increasingly lead to political protest.  Environmental governance in the region is often highly centralised, and takes no consideration of the needs of the citizens in the use of natural resources. Reinforcing accountable environmental governance could help, not only by addressing environmental problems and needs, but by contributing to the overall transformation of societal relationships towards more democratic (i.e. transparent, accountable and participative) governance.
