The Significance Of The "Self": A Study On The "Self" In Development Discourse, Lulie El-Ashry

Archived Theses and Dissertations

The study seeks to understand the role and significance of the 'self within the context of the current development discourse. In order to establish a relationship between the 'self' and development discourse the awareness and understanding of the 'self' by the individual must first occur. Acquiring a sense of 'self is particularly important for the individual who works as a development practioner who seeks to help others via development practice.

Political Economy Of Foreign Policy Change: Understanding The Change In The Mozambican Foreign Policy During The 80s, Sergio Mateus Gomes Feb 2006

Political Economy Of Foreign Policy Change: Understanding The Change In The Mozambican Foreign Policy During The 80s, Sergio Mateus Gomes

Archived Theses and Dissertations

The Problematic Of Generating Anthropological Knowledge: A Case Study Of A Health And Gender Development Project In Rural Egypt, Tonje Holm

Archived Theses and Dissertations

This thesis explores how boarder guards limits the amount of knowledge an anthropologist really can obtain doing research. The research is based upon a concrete case study in Egypt where local and national government bodies "border guard" how knowledge is gained within a development project. This research shows how although anthropological knowledge and research provide a body of theory within which policy is created the policy should come with a "health warning". Field research undoubtedly give more information than so called "armchair" research, but it is far from giving the policy makers the full picture of the society, or project …
