Hemtentan är inlämnad, nya kursen är här, och första artikeln är läst. jag tyckte om den, för den hade minst sagt ett marxistiskt perspektiv, och den analyserade neoliberalism, trade agreements och miljö :) 

 

"The most important scientific innovations are not of the technical solutions but ones that recognize the flaws in the structure of social organization. True innovation would mean we put to practice the scientific critique of the negative environmental externalities generated by the structure of the disembedded market. [...] The North’s bio- avaricious lifestyle is only possible by ‘cost-shifting’ its immense negative ecological effects onto others who do not deserve them.

 

We need a new, reflexive paradigm of development that focuses on developing countries by improving their economic growth, ameliorating their poverty, and improving their institutions. We need a paradigm that is equally critical of the developed countries. Their over-development from their energy usage and consumption, and the societal organization that allows this to happen should be questioned. The sustainability of their development path, and the impact that their level of development has on other countries should be included in the study of development. If development is to be at all synonymous with improving this dialectical relationship between the North and South, we need to recognize the harsh reality that our current level of development is only possible because of their level of underdevelopment." (Howell 2007)
