  • Lecture 2: Why We Fight and the Path to Peace (Part I) Chris Blattman Any Questions About the Class, the Assignments, Grading, Office Hours? Last Time
    Political Development & Policy Lecture 2: Why we fight and the path to peace (Part I) Chris Blattman Any questions about the class, the assignments, grading, office hours? Last time • What do we mean when we talk about “political development”? – Function • The capabilities approach: “Development as freedom” – Order and stability – Equality – Autonomy – Collective action and coordination – Form • State: Centralized, rule-governed, depersonalized authority who monopolizes violence & shapes society • Rule of law: Equal treatment under the law, including for leaders • Democracy: Free participation, representation in decision-making, & accountability of leaders • Why is political development important? – Many of these capabilities and freedoms are intrinsically important ends in themselves – Some forms of political development also promote economic development, which itself promotes other capabilities and freedoms Today and next two classes • A slight detour: Anti-politics machines • Mostly: Why is there war and peace? First, a detour: Anti-politics machines The most common mistake outsiders make A very different example: James Ferguson in Lesotho Cows will teach us an awful lot about politics in this class “The anti-politics machine” • Solving poverty and implementing programs is as technical problem, not a social and political problem • Development projects are apolitical machines that exist to provide social services • Cliques, factions, inefficiencies, and corruption are seen as impediments rather than strategic reactions to the environment

  • Joe Chaffin: Hi Everyone! Welcome to Blood Bank Guy Essentials Episode 009. I Am Super-Excited to Have As My Guest Today Dr
    Joe Chaffin: Hi everyone! Welcome to Blood Bank Guy Essentials episode 009. I am super-excited to have as my guest today Dr. Kristine Krafts from the University of Minnesota. Kristine, welcome to the podcast! Kristine Krafts: Thank you so much! So happy to be here! Joe: It’s so cool to have you here! I gotta tell you, there’s going to be a lot of blood bank people that are going to say, “Kristine Krafts—not a familiar name.” But I want to tell everyone exactly why you should be familiar to people. Dr. Krafts is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Basic Sciences at the University of Minnesota School of Medicine, as well as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Diagnostic and Biological Sciences in the University of Minnesota School of Dentistry. She is trained in both anatomic and clinical pathology, and did hematopathology and molecular diagnostic pathology fellowships all at the University of Minnesota. So you’re a Minnesota girl, right, Kristine? Kristine: I am! I never left! Joe: Okay! (laughs) Fair enough! Why you should know about Dr. Krafts though, is my favorite part about this. There are 2 reasons: Number 1, back in 2009, Kristine decided to do something that many people have done, but quite frankly, she does it better than just about anyone I’ve seen. She started a website, which is called pathologystudent.com. Pathologystudent.com is a site that teaches not only basic pathology, but also has a special emphasis on hematopathology, given Kristine’s expertise. This site has just an enormous amount of information for students of basic pathology.
