DSA/EADI Joint Conference 2011: Rethinking Development in an Age of Scarcity and Uncertainty
EADI's triennal general conferences are the Association's public forum for
debate and research. The 13th General Conference will be held in co-operation
with the Development Studies Association of the United Kingdom and Ireland
(DSA).
The EADI-DSA 2011 joint conference seeks to be one convening space
to fundamentally revisit and rethink the development paradigm(s) in all its
dimensions in an era of plurality, uncertainty and change.
The EADI-DSA
2011 conference seeks to maximise the opportunity of working together and to
revisit and rethink ‘development’, to generate new ideas, new narratives and new
thinking whenever possible globally co-constructed with partners in
global-South.
The conference seeks to go forward by rethinking what are
new universals in terms of ideas, and narratives that will allow humanity to
reach some kind of adaptive and sustainable pathway or pathways by taking
inter-cultural, inter-generational and inter-disciplinary forces into account.
Please consult the conference description for a broader introduction to the
theme, or download the conference leafltet for key facts about the
event.
It is at the level of plenary, parallel and working group sessions
that we will deal with the different economic, social, political, cultural and
ecological aspects covered by this large, all-encompassing theme.
The
conference will provide several formats for the presentation of concepts,
research results, policy conclusions and debate among development scholars and
between them and policy makers and representatives of the civil society and the
business community.
The conference will begin with the Dudley Seers Lecture by an eminent development thinker. Each of the three conference days will have a focus or a theme:
Day 1: New values: Rethinking progress and how to
measure it
Day 2: New institutions: Rethinking
governance systems
Day 3: New ideas: Where are the
voices and what alliances will be necessary and viable?
